The death has been reported in Kano State of Dr. Wada Ibrahim Waziri, the Sa’in Bichi, Hakimin Dambatta who died on Wednesday at the age of 89.

Naija News understands the prominent monarch passed away after a protracted illness linked with old age.

The late traditional ruler who was at one time the District Head of Makoda was born into a royal family and had his education early in Kano Middle School in the 1950s.

Late Wada Waziri was a veteran nursing officer who became popular under the AVM Hamza Abdullahi regime in 1984 when he served as head of operation of the then Kano State Environmental Sanitation Agency, popularly known as Ruwa-Ruwa.
