The Emir of Rano, Dr Tafida Abubakar Ila II, has died after a brief illness following his hospitalization on Friday in Kano State.
He died on Saturday at Nassarwa Specialist Hospital at about 4:45pm. His Rano emirate is one of four new emirates created in Kano in the wake of the balkanization of the Kano emirate due to the friction between Gov. Ganduje and ex emir Sanusi.
