The couple tied the knot in June 2021 in Kano at a quiet ceremony that was attended by a couple of Super Eagles stars and Maniru Dan Iya, deputy governor of Sokoto state.

Naja’atu has featured in a number of Kannywood movies including ‘Murjanatu’, ‘Auren Gaja’, ‘Hakkin Rai’, and ‘Harira’, among others.

The Athletic Club Omonoia Nicosia player, on the other hand, is currently on national assignment with the Super Eagles as they battle Ghana in a doubleheader fixture that will determine which nation will book the ticket to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
