Alhaji Shehu Kabiru Bayero, the District Head of Dorayi in the Kano Emirate, has died in Egypt, according to a statement released by the Kano State Emirate on social media. The emirate prayed for his soul to rest in peace and for his family and the Kano Royal House to find strength in their loss. The statement did not disclose when his remains would be returned to Nigeria for burial.
Bayero was transferred to Dorayi in 2025, replacing Gwarzo, following his reinstatement as Emir by Muhammadu Sanusi. He was first appointed as Barde Kerarriya by late Emir Ado Bayero in 2006, serving in Takai Local Government before being reassigned to Dorayi. Bayero joined the Nigeria Police Force in 1970 and served as a police commissioner in Gombe and Osun states before retiring after 35 years of service.
His father, the late Kabiru Bayero, also worked as a Native Authority police chief before being appointed as Barde Kerarriya by Emir Muhammadu Sanusi the first, who succeeded him as local police chief in the 1950s.
