Aisha Babangida’s Marriage To Former Zamfara Governor Dissolved

The second marriage of Aisha, first daughter of Nigeria’s former military President, General Ibrahim Babangida has hit the rocks. Aisha who was married to Alhaji Aliyu Shinkafi, the former Governor of Zamfara State had earlier been married to Basheer Nalado Garba, a nephew to the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha.

The marriage to Basheer Nalado Garba attracted celebrities from all over the world to the General’s Hill Top Mansion back in September 2003 with friends and cronies of the gap-toothed General jostling to outdo each other in terms of gifts. The marriage however packed up three years after. The couple had a child.

After some time, Aisha found love again. Before long, there was another gathering at the Hill Top Mansion when she got married as the third wife of Muhammad Aliyu Shinkafi, the then Governor of Zamfara State. The marriage was contracted in April 2008 and a little less than five years after, Aisha is single again.
