A senior member of the Kano Emirate Council, Prof. Isa Hashim, has died at the age of 86 years, after a brief illness.

Prof. Hashim, who is the Jarman Kano, died on Sunday, May 3rd, 2020.

The deceased family member, Aliyu Ibrahim, said Hashim’s health condition had deteriorated in recent days prior to his death.

He added that his remains had been buried in accordance with Islamic rites.

Hashim, a professor of Political Science, was a senior lecturer with Bayero University, Kano where he taught for several years before retiring.

Hashim’s demise came about 24 hours after the Emir of Rano, Alhaji Abubakar Tafida, lost his life.

Tafida and many other prominent sons of the state including academics, industrialists, bankers, activists, journalists, community, and religious leaders died under mysterious circumstances in Kano in recent weeks.
