Notes on My Time in Northern Nigeria


Daura Memorial


This plaque was sset in the lower of the two alcoves between the two gateways to the Emir's compound.

It read: "MEMORIAL. Praise be to Almighty God and H.M. the King of England who in 1906 on the recommendation of Lord Lugard restored the Habe capital city of Daura to M.Musa, the descendant of the former Habe ruler exiled for 99 years."
