Muhammadu Wabi III is dead.
A source within the Emir’s Palace in Jama’are
told our correspondent that the Emir passed on

after a prolonged illness that had kept him away
from public view for years.
The source added that the late Emir had been
sick for a few years now and had gone for
treatment outside the shores of the country
before it was decided to just allow him to remain
at home.
Another source in the Palace confirmed the death
of the Emir saying, “It is true that the Emir of
Jama’are is no more, he died in the early hours
of Sunday. May Allah forgive his sins and grant
him Aljanat Firdaus.”
