Former military President, retired Gen. Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, will on Friday in Minna, Niger State give out his last daughter, Halimat, in marriage.


 

The wedding is taking place amidst concerns over the General’s health. He recently returned from Germany, where he sought some medical help.Since then, he has kept off from public functions.

Halimat is the second daughter and last child of the family.

She was born by his late wife Maryam while the military ruler presided over the affairs of the country at Dodan Barracks in Lagos. Babangida ruled from Lagos between August 1985 until 1991 when he shifted the seat of government to Abuja.
