FatherAbdullahi dan Fodio

Muhammad Wani bin Abdullahi bin Fudi (1789–1833) was the second Emir of Gwandu from 1829 to 1833. He was the eldest son of Abdullahi dan Fodio, and fought as a young commander during the Sokoto jihad, which started in 1804 and ended in 1808. Wani later administered Gwandu on behalf of his father. After Abdullahi's death in 1829, Wani was elected as emir. His reign was marked by campaigns against the Kebbawa rebels of Argungu, the Arewa, and neighbouring Yoruba and Borgu states.
