The 19th emir of Zazzau, Ambassador Ahmed Nuhu Bamali, on Friday confirmed, through his verified twitter handle, that: “It is with the deepest regret and no pleasure that we announce the death of the most powerful traditional title holder and wealthiest prince in Northern Nigeria, Alh. Basar Aminu, Iyan Zazzau.”

He wrote: “Iyan Zazzau was legendary. We felt a big vacuum hearing his demise.

“A great soul, we mourn his death and pray that the Almighty will give his family and the entire people of Zazzau fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

“May Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant his Janna.”

Bamali who also confirmed the demise of the Talban Zazzau said: “Zazzau emirate regrets to announce the passage of Talban Zazzau, Alhaji Abdulkadir Pate.

“May Allah comfort his family, forgive his sins and grant him Aljannah Firdaus.”
