Former Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Ibrahim Dasuki has died at
the age of 93. He died Monday and will be buried Tuesday, according to Muslim
rites.
The late Sultan Dasuki, father of ex-National Security
Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, was deposed in 1996 by the late Head of State, General
Sani Abacha, after he was installed by Military President, General Ibrahim
Babangida, in 1988.
He ruled for eight years before his deposition and
banishment to Zing, in Taraba State.
Dasuki was the first Sultan from the Buhari line of the
House of Dan Fodio. He was a close associate of Ahmadu Bello and held the
traditional title of Baraden Sokoto before becoming Sultan.
