Gusau, Nigeria
Few weeks after the demise of Awujale and paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, another top traditional ruler and Emir of Gusau in Zamfara State, Dr. Ibrahim Bello, has passed on.
The Emir who succeeded his father in 2015, died at the age of 71 after a protracted illness in Abuja.
The death was confirmed by the spokesperson to Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, in a statement on Friday.
The Governor then commiserated with the people of his domain and the entire State over the loss.
Bello, a civil servant who rose to the highest position of Permanent Secretary during his service in old Sokoto and Zamfara states, served for 10 years and a few months as Emir of Gusau.
