Nigerians from all spheres of life have expressed
their displeasure over the recent wedding of Emir of
Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II to an 18-year-old
princess from Adamawa.
The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN) reportedly married the teenager, Princess
Sa’adatu Barkindo-Musdafa, daughter of the
Lamido of Adamawa, Muhammadu Barkindo-
Musdafa on Saturday.
Nigerians are of the opinion that at his age, 54, he
was not supposed to have gotten married to a girl
of 18, as his fourth wife, while some believe since
he lashed out at others for doing same, he ought to
have had a re-think before reaching a conclusion.

young. #ChildNotbride ”
