The mass wedding, known as Auren Gata, was organised through the Kano State Hisbah Board to support vuln£rable residents and reduce the f!nanc!al burd£n of marriage.
Bashir l0st his wife, Fatima Abubakar, 35, and their six children in the incident at their home on January 17 while he was away at Dorayi Market.
Three suspects were later arr£sted in connection with the cas£. One of them was accus£d by authorities of being involved, but the allegat!0ns remain subject to due l£gal process.
Following the incident, public support was raised for Bashir, with reports that a crowdfunding campaign received more than ₦25 million within five days.
President Bola Tinubu expressed c0ndolences, while Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf reportedly promised Bashir a new house, support for Hajj and Umrah, and assistance to help him remarry.
Bashir later travelled to Saudi Arabia for the pilgrimage and reportedly handed over his former home to the state government for conversion into an Islamiyya school.
His remarriage took place on Friday alongside the other beneficiaries of the state-sponsored mass wedding.
The ceremony was led by Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, Chairman of the Kano State Hisbah Board. Governor Yusuf served as Wakili for the brides, while the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, served as Wakili for the grooms.
The participating couples are expected to receive furniture, food, household items and f!nanc!al support to help them establish their homes.
For Bashir, the wedding marks a new chapter after the l0ss of his immediate family, while the wider programme aims to provide social and f!nancial supp0rt to residents starting families.
