A Kano man, Suleiman Isah, who three years married an American citizen, Janine Reimann, has become a United States citizen.
Isah was 23 years old when he got married to Reiman, 46, on 13 December 2020.
The couple met on Instagram 10 months before their wedding.
Mrs Reiman, a chef based in Lindon, California, subsequently flew into Nigeria for the wedding ceremony which was held at Barracks Mosque Panshekara.
In May 2023, Isah announced that he had joined the US Army.
Taking to his Facebook page on Thursday, 26 October 2023, Isah celebrated becoming an American citizen.
“Alhamdulillah, I am grateful to serve in the world’s strongest military. Thanks to the United States military for giving me the opportunity to serve and become a citizen of the United States of America. I am now an American,” he wrote.
