Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has reportedly paid 24 gold coins as bride price to marry the daughter of late military dictator, Gumsu Sani Abacha.
Buni who is also the chairman, caretaker committee of the All Progressives Congress tied the knot with Gumsu on Wednesday.
The marriage ceremony took place at the Abuja residence of the bride’s elder brother, Mohammed Abacha.

Commissioner, Refugees Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons, Bashir Garba-Lado.
Others are Kano-based Islamic cleric, Aminu Daurawa; Katsina State governorship aspirant in 2019 elections, Yakubu Lado-DanMarke, and many others.
