Born in 1943, Muhammadu Sani Sami joined the Nigerian Army and rose to the rank of Major General before retiring to take up traditional leadership. He became Emir of Zuru in the mid-1990s and ruled for almost 30 years.

He said the late ruler left behind a legacy of honor, adding that his passing is a loss not only to Zuru Emirate but also to Kebbi State and Nigeria as a whole.
