Super Eagles Captain Ahmed Musa Weds Fourth Wife In Kano
Ahmed Musa, captain of Nigeria’s senior national football team, tied the knot with his fourth wife, Asmau Moriki, on Friday in a modest yet elegant ceremony held in Kano.
This latest marriage brings Musa’s total number of wives to three, alongside Juliet Ejue and Miriam, whom he married in 2021.
Musa’s first marriage to Jemila ended in divorce in 2017, after which he remarried all three of his current wives.

Insiders reveal that Musa’s absence from the Super Eagles camp during the ongoing Unity Cup in England was connected to his wedding plans.
Musa had featured as a substitute for over 30 minutes during Nigeria’s 2-1 victory against Ghana—a win that secured their spot in the final against Jamaica.
However, he did not participate in the final match held later the same day, as he was preparing for a post-wedding dinner scheduled for Sunday.
A devout Muslim, Musa has diversified his interests beyond football, investing heavily in real estate, oil businesses, and recreational facilities across major Nigerian cities such as Kaduna, Abuja, Kano, and Lagos.
He also owns property in the United States, where his second wife, Juliet, resides.
