The wedding, which took place at MOPOL 52 Barracks Juma’at Mosque in Panshekara, Kumbotso Local Government of Kano State, attracted thousands of well-wishers from within and outside the State.

The groom’s father’s relative, Shehu Sani, a former Senator representing Kaduna Central, stood in as Janine’s representative during the wedding ceremony.

In response to the news, Sani took to his Facebook page to congratulate the couple and ridicule critics of their marriage, saying, “They criticised me for this interracial marriage and now Suleiman Isah is happily married and got enlisted into the California Army National Guard. Congratulations.”
