Halima Kazaure (also described as Halima Nwakego) writes about her marriage to Bashir El-Rufai and the circumstances that led to their divorce. In an essay published on Substack, she reflects on doubts she says she had before the marriage began, describing the experience as emotionally difficult and presenting her eventual separation as heartbreak rather than a sudden break.
Across the reports, she also focuses on her personal aftermath, including raising twins as a single mother. One outlet highlights her description of feeling she was entering a marriage “preparing for its funeral,” while the other frames her account around her fears and the personal journey that follows the end of the relationship. Neither report provides independent verification of specific claims beyond her narrative, but both present the posts as a firsthand account of her feelings and experiences.
The coverage therefore centers on the ex-wife’s public reflections rather than new legal or factual details reported by the outlets themselves.
