Mallam Ishaku
Mallam Ishaku was the Fulani commander who took Daura during the jihad of Usman dan Fodio around 1806 and became its first Fulani emir. The Hausa ruling house fled north and kept a rival court at Zango. Daura then became an emirate of the Sokoto Caliphate, while the old dynasty was restored by the British in 1904.
