The bride has now wedded Suleiman, the younger brother of the late Air Force officer. The ceremony took place on Saturday, March 20 in Kaduna.

A friend, Hshim Abbakar Zaki who shared photos from the occasion wrote “Suleiman is younger than Abubakar the soldier and terrorist who spent a few days on the way to Birnin Gwari, which is remaining two weeks to marry, may God accept his life by protecting his country’s dignity. That’s how God is doing. Suleiman has groomed the girl. May God bless your marriage. And may Allah lighten his grave amen.”
