A Hiccup at the Grand Wedding: Royal Drama Unfolds
Discord at a Katsina wedding escalates as Emir's security personnel forcefully open a glass door.
In a surprising turn of events, a high-profile wedding at the residence of Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, took an unexpected twist. The festivities were momentarily halted due to a tense standoff between security personnel and royal guards.
Our sources revealed that this grand event, graced by top dignitaries including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, witnessed a minor disruption caused by a misunderstanding in security protocols[1].
As the Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumini Kabir Usman, arrived, he found the main event hall entrance barred—a seemingly unfriendly welcome given his prestigious status[1]. A viral video obtained by Daily Trust confirms this, showing royal guards in traditional attire forcefully breaking a glass door[1].
The video, now circulating widely on social media, captures the commotion as shards of glass rain down, startling the guests[1]. Security personnel and palace aides quickly restored order, ensuring the Emir's safe entry into the hall without further incident[1].
Despite this temporary hiccup, President Tinubu, Governor Radda, and other dignitaries continued to bless the newlywed couple, with the ceremony proceeding as planned[1].
