Ibrahim Kura of Borno
Ibrahim or Ibrahim Kura (1840s-ca.1885) was Shehu of Borno from ca.1884 to ca.1885.
Reign of Ibrahim
Ibrahim became Shehu of Borno in 1884 at the death of his brother Bukar Kura. His uncle, Abba Masta Kura had been recognised Shehu before him but Ibrahim succeeded to bribe his way to the throne. His one-year reign was marked by an intense political crisis in Kukawa.[1]
