Ibrahim Bello, the Emir of Gusau in Zamfara State, has died at the age of 71 after being sick for a long time. He passed away on Friday in Abuja.
The news of his death was shared by Sulaiman Idris, who speaks for the Governor of Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal.
Governor Lawal made an official statement to mourn the Emir. He said the Emir was a trustworthy leader who worked hard for peace and development in Zamfara.
“I was very sad to hear about the death of our father, His Royal Highness, Dr. Ibrahim Bello, the Emir of Gusau.
“I have lost someone I trusted and saw as a father. His advice helped me and other leaders. I pray Allah forgives him and gives him a place in paradise,” the governor added.
Bello became the 16th Emir of Gusau in March 2015 after his father died. He ruled for more than ten years and played an important role in the cultural and social life of the state.
