Gumsu Abacha, the Yobe state first lady and daughter of the former military head of state, Late General Sani Abacha, has announced his divorce from the Northeast state governor, Mai Mala Buni.
The daughter of the former military leader took to her social media page to announce that she was emancipating and liberating. She tweeted, “Emancipation…Liberation.”
In the comment section, she was referred to as the first lady of Yobe State, but the daughter of the late military general said she was not married. She said, “I am not Married.”
Governor Mai Mala Buni married 45-year-old Gumsu on April 14, 2021, and paid a dowry of 24 gold coins.
The marriage ceremony took place at the Abuja residence of her elder brother, Mohammed Abacha. In attendance were the then Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Customs Service, Hameed Ali; the former National Commissioner for Refugees, Migrants, and Internally Displaced Persons, Bashir Garba-Lado; and the Kano-based Islamic cleric Aminu Daurawa, among others.
Gumsu was previously married to a Cameroonian billionaire, Bayero Mohamadou, but the 20-year-old marriage ended in 2020.
