Muhammad I Kure

Muhammad I, also called Kure Muhammad, was a son of mai Abdullah II Kademi and his wife Kagala. In about 1328 he succeeded his brother Kure II Kura as mai of Kanem. Three of his brothers, Selema III, Kure I Gana and Kure II, had already been killed in quick succession in wars against the Sao of Bornu south of Lake Chad.

After a brief reign Muhammad suffered the same fate, slain by the Sao at Nanigham. With him the sons of Abdullah II were extinguished, and the throne passed to Idris I, son of Ibrahim I Nikale.
