The marriage was contracted in accordance with Islamic injunctions and was attended by top Federal and States’ Government officials.

The Ministers of Interior and Defence, Abdurrahman Dambazau and Mansur Dan-Ali; the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris; the Controller-General of Nigeria Immigration Service, Muhammad Babandede; and Director-General, Department of State Services, Lawal Musa Daura, also graced the occasion.

Guests had unhindered access to the President’s residence, venue of the marriage, in spite the heavy presence of security personnel.

However, only few prominent personnel had access to the main sitting room where the wedding took place.

Praise singers and drummers were not left out of the ceremony as they added glamour to the event.
