The colourful ceremony had friends and family in attendance. Photos from the wedding have gone viral on social media.
Singers Timi Dakolo, Joeboy and Laycon thrilled guests at the ceremony.
Bagudu’s daughter is a lawyer and graduate of the University of Hull, United Kingdom.
The bride’s mother is the sister to the former Zamfara State governor Aliyu Shinkafi.
