The wedding nikkah of Fatima, daughter of billionaire businessman, Aliko Dangote to her husband, Jamil Abubakar, is currently holding in Kano state.
It was reported that the wedding was conducted by the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II; and supported by the Chief Imam of Kano, Prof. Sani Zaharaddeen.
Buhari in his capacity as the bride’s ‘father’ received N500,000 dowry from the representative of the groom at the occasion.
President Buhari, Senate President Bukola Saraki, Speaker Yakubu Dogara, state governors and others are currently attending the wedding. They went to the Emir’s palace to pay homage.

The event, which was also attended by prominent Islamic scholars and other well-wishers from across the country, witnessed a large turnout of workers from various companies owned by the renowned business mogul.
Security at the occasion was watertight, as all the entrances leading to the palace were cordoned-off by heavily armed security operatives.
The development made it impossible for most journalists who turned up to cover the event to do so.
