The Danjuma family took over the glamorous Spanish resort city of Marbella, shutting it down for love as the wedding celebration of Saraya Danjuma, daughter of former Chief of Army Staff, Theophilus Danjuma and her groom, Bawa Salka, entered its international phase.
Following their elaborate traditional wedding in Lagos, where the couple was joined according to northern traditional rites, the celebration continued in Marbella with a welcome party at La Cabane, a Dolce & Gabbana-designed beach club that set the tone for a relaxed yet luxurious affair.
The Lagos ceremony had already drawn a high-profile guest list, including Vice President Kashim Shettima; Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu; Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, and his wife, Bamidele; Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde; and businessman, Femi Otedola, among others. But Marbella brought a distinctly international flavour, with guests arriving in the coastal city ahead of the main wedding festivities.
The hosts, Saraya and Bawa, were at the centre of the festivities, welcoming their guests as the destination celebration got underway. The mother of the bride, Daisy Danjuma, dazzled in a floral gown as she warmly welcomed guests and ensured they were settled and ready for the party, while the father of the bride was seen sharing moments with friends, family and other guests.
Guests mingled, exchanged greetings, took photographs and enjoyed the company of friends and family ahead of the main wedding proceedings. Among the notable guests were the founder of Greenwood House School, Eku Abudu-Akinsanya; former First Lady of Nigeria, Aisha Buhari; businesswoman, Folake Oyemade; Bola Shagaya; Lanre Dasilva; and Bisola Giwa-Osagie. The son of the President of Nigeria, Seyi Tinubu, also attended the party.
Aremo Oniru, Benedict Murray-Bruce, Dino Melaye and Terry Waya were also seen in one of the videos, holding wine glasses and vibing to music. Victor Briggs and his wife, Amelda; Beatrice Abebe and her daughter, Justice Elizabeth Alakija; and Ebitimi and his wife, Pelebo Banigo, were also among the guests.
Photographs and social media posts from the celebration offered glimpses of the relaxed yet glamorous atmosphere, with guests turning up in stylish outfits and sharing moments with the couple. With more celebrations ahead, the Marbella gathering has become another glamorous chapter in what is undoubtedly one of Nigeria’s much-discussed high-society weddings of 2026 a city effectively shut down by the Danjumas for love.
