The Emir of Gaya Emirate in Kano State, Alhaji (Dr.) Ibrahim Abdulkadir, has died.
His demise was made public on Wednesday, September 22 in a Facebook post by the SSA on New Media to Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State, Abubakar Aminu Ibrahim.
Born in 1930, the 91-year-old Emir was enthroned in 1990 and had been on the throne for over 30 years.
He was previously the district head of Kunchi and then Minjibir, but in May 2019, he was elevated by the Kano State government to the rank of an Emir and oversaw the affairs of Gaya Emirate.
