The marriage comes two years after Ibrahim married his second wife, Amira, who is the daughter of Muhammad Babandede, a former Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS). That union took place in late 2023.

Ibrahim’s first marriage was in 2018 to Saratu Sodangi, a lawyer. Since then, his marital journey has attracted public attention, largely due to his family background and the prominence of those connected to his marriages.

With the latest development in 2026, Ibrahim now has three wives: Saratu Sodangi, whom he married in 2018; Amira Babandede, whom he married in 2023; and Faiza, his third wife.

Details of the latest wedding were kept largely private, in line with the family’s preference for a low-profile ceremony.
