Muhammad IX Ngileruma[a] (Muḥammad Ngileruma bin ʿAlī bin Ḥamdūn[2]) was the mai of the Kanem–Bornu Empire in 1811–1814.[2]
Muhammad was a son of Ali IV (r. 1750–1791)[3] and was made mai when the courtiers of Dunama IX Lefiami, Muhammad's nephew, became aggravated at the great influence and power bestowed upon the scholar and military leader Muhammad al-Amin al-Kanemi.[2][4] Muhammad's reign came to an end after just three years, when al-Kanemi supported the restoration of Dunama IX.[2][4]
Notes
[edit]- ^ Some chronologies of Kanem–Bornu rulers omit the 14th-century Muhammad II, lowering the regnal numbers of later rulers of this name. This ruler is then considered Muhammad VIII.[1]
