Man Whose Wife, 6 Children Were Killed Remarries In Kano

A man whose wife and six children were brutally murdered earlier this year, Haruna Bashir, has remarried during the Kano State Government’s mass wedding programme for 1,500 couples.
Bashir’s wedding was held on Friday at the central Juma’at Mosque of the Emir’s Palace in Kano. He is now married to Nabila Kabiru Yunusa with a dowry of N200,000 paid for the marriage.
Governor Abba Yusuf served as guardian (Wali) for the grooms while the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, represented the brides.
Bashir lost his wife, Fatima Abubakar, and their six children on January 17, 2026, when assailants attacked their residence at Dorayi Chiranchi Quarters in Kano, killing the entire family.
