President Muhammadu Buhari’s second
daughter, Zahra, married an oil magnate,
Ahmed Indimi, on Friday.
The wedding, which garnered lots of media
attention, took place at the National Mosque in
Abuja.

A representative of the Indimi family, who spoke
on condition of anonymity, said the groom’s
family paid 12 gold coins — valued at
N250,000 — as bride price to the Buhari’s
family, Daily Trust reported.
It was learnt that the Sarkin Fulanin Daura,
Alhaji Yusuf Sani, gave out Zahra on behalf of
the Buhari family. Meanwhile, the bride took to
her Instagram account on Friday to share some
of her wedding pictures.
In one picture where she was dressed in a blue
traditional wear, Zahra described herself as a
“proud Fulani bride” who has a great deal of
respect for tradition.

“I respect tradition; it is what
makes us unique. For my
‘kamu’ (a ceremony whereby the
groom’s family comes and
negotiates with the bride’s friends
for her release), I insisted on
wearing the rich blue traditional
Fulani fabric that was worn by
generations before us. I am
proudly (a) Fulani bride,” she
wrote.
