Emir Of Rano Is Dead

The Emir of the Rano Emirate in Kano State, Tafida Abubakar-Ila, is dead.

He died at a hospital in Kano on Saturday, almost one year after the Kano State Government created four new Emirate Councils and made him a first-class emir in Rano.

A member of the House of Representatives and Turakin Rano, Alhassan Rurum, confirmed the death of the emir.

The lawmakers said the Emir died at a hospital after a brief illness.

He is survived by 17 children and two wives.
