President Muhammadu Buhari’s family recently disowned some photographs trending on social media and some conventional media said to be pre-wedding photos of their daughter, Zahra and husband-to-be, Mohammed Indimi.

In a statement by the Special Assistant on Media to the wife of the President, Adebisi Olumide-Ajayi, the family described the photographs as untrue and embarrassing to them.

Olumide-Ajayi said the family would want the forthcoming marriage to remain a private affair.

She also promised that official photographs of the wedding would be released at the appropriate time.

The statement read, “It has come to the notice of the Buhari family, that certain photographs are making the rounds both on social and conventional media claiming to be pre-wedding photographs of Zahra Buhari and Mohammed Indimi.

“Not only are these photographs untrue, but they are also a source of embarrassment to the couple.

“The couple would like to express that as much as they appreciate public interest and well wishes in their forthcoming marriage, they would at this particular point appreciate the public’s respect of their decision to make it a private affair.

“Official photographs would be released at the appropriate time.”
