Tanzanian Bongo flava star Ali kiba has today morning (April 19) married his Kenyan fiancee Amina Khalef Rikesh in an invite-only ceremony in Mombasa.
The ceremony, known as Nikkah where a man goes to the mosque to say I do, was conducted at Masjid Ummul Kulthum Mosque.
Ali kiba was accompanied by his younger brother Abdu Kiba, his best man. The Cinderella musician was dressed in a black gown, a turban and a dagger – a custom for Swahili weddings
The wedding was conducted early morning to avoid “gate crashers”. Journalists were barred from covering the event.
