Mubi

Mubi lies near the Mandara Mountains, in a region of hills and plains south of Bornu. Its country became part of the wide sphere of the Adamawa emirate, one of the states that grew from the Fulani jihad. Under Modibbo Adama, the emirate brought together many local rulers across the Benue basin and the lands toward the eastern highlands. Mubi was among the centres associated with its subordinate rulers.
