A widower whose wife and six children were killed in an attack earlier this year remarries during a mass-wedding event in Nigeria for 1,500 couples, according to reports from multiple outlets.
The ceremony is described as part of a regional, state-sponsored program. One account identifies the groom as Haruna Bashir and frames the remarriage as a personal milestone after months of grief following the killings of his family. Other coverage focuses on the scale and organization of the event, emphasizing that the wedding brings together large numbers of couples.
While the stories differ in emphasis—some highlighting the individual groom’s background and emotional context, others concentrating on the event’s regional and administrative aspects—they agree that the widower remarries at the mass wedding involving 1,500 couples.
