Suleiman Isah, a Kano man who married a 46-year-old American citizen, Janine Sanchez, has joined the California Army National Guard, a reserve of the United States Army.
According to records, the California Army
National Guard comprises 18,450 soldiers.
On Friday, Isah posted a picture of himself
wearing the uniform of the US Army and captioned it “Alhamdullillah- forever
grateful”.
The two lovers, who met on social media, got
married on December 13, 2020.
Ms Janine, a chef based in Lindon,
California, had flown to Nigeria for the wedding ceremony.
The wedding, which took place at MOPOL 52
Barracks Juma’at Mosque in Panshekara, Kumbotso Local Government of Kano State,
had thousands of well-wishers from within and outside the state in attendance.
A former Senator who represented Kaduna
Central, Shehu Sani, who is also a relative of the groom’s father, stood in as
Janine’s representative (waliy).
Commenting on the new development on his
Facebook page, Sani congratulated the officer and taunted those who criticized
him when he supported the union.
“They criticised me for this inter racial
marriage and now Suleiman Isah is happily married and got enlisted into the
California Army National Guard. Congratulations,” he said.
