Muhammad Bello

Muhammad Bello (1781–1837), second caliph of Sokoto (1817–1837), son of its founder Usman dan Fodio and his father's chief aide. He founded the city of Sokoto in 1809, consolidated the caliphate's administration, courts and schooling, and wrote hundreds of texts on history, Islamic law and poetry, among them the Infaq al-Maysur, the standard history of the Fulani wars; he died at Wurno in 1837.
