Alhaji Ali Dahiru Zungeru, the Sarkin Hausawa of Ibadanland, has died.
Zungeru, who was the leader of the Hausa community in Ibadan, reportedly died on Monday evening.
A source within the Hausa community in the Sabo area of Ibadan confirmed the development to Kano Times.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the deceased would be buried on Tuesday in accordance with Islamic rites.
“Yes, the Sarkin Hausawa of Ibadanland is dead. He died this evening and will be buried in Sabo on Tuesday,” the source said.
Zungeru was turbaned as the Sarkin Hausawa only a few months ago, following the death of his elder brother, Alhaji Ahmadu Dahiru Zungeru.
Their father, Alhaji Dahiru Zungeru, was also a former Sarkin Hausawa of Ibadanland.
