Garun Gabas

Garun Gabas was one of several kingdoms in the country around Hadejia, west of the Bornu heartland. Local tradition counts it and Auyo among the oldest of these states. Their rulers are remembered as receiving their titles from the mai of Bornu through the Galadima, whose seat was at Nguru. The Galadima governed Bornu's western marches, placing these small kingdoms within a network of regional authority.
