Musa marries fourth wife

Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa has married his fourth wife, Asmau Moriki, in a wedding ceremony in Kano on Friday evening, May 30.

The 32-year-old currently plays for Kano Pillars FC in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) after his contract expired with Sivasspor of Turkey.

In a post on X, the former CSKA Moscow player had a modest and simple wedding, which was attended by close associates and teammates.

The former Leicester City forward is getting married again, four years after a low-key marriage to Maryam Adamu Jajere from Yobe state.

Musa married his first wife, Jamila Musa, in 2013, and they had two children before divorcing in 2017 due to marital issues, including allegations of domestic violence.

The Jos-born player is still married to his second wife, Juliet Ejue, who currently lives in the United States with their two children per Brila.
