Ahmadu Dan Tanimu, known as Ahmadu Kuran Daga or Ahmadu Mai Rinji was the Sultan of the Sultanate of Damagaram from 1893 to 1899. His reign marked the height of Damagaram's military and political prowess. He inherited thousands of muskets and dozens of canons from his father, along with canon factories and ammunition plants.[1] Ahmadu soon found himself in a power struggle with the Emirate of Kano under Aliyu Mai Sango, Bornu under Rabih Az-Zubayr, and French Colonialists. After the assassination of French officer Marius Gabriel Cazemajou and his interpreter in Zinder under Ahmadu's orders, he was subdued and killed by the French in retaliation.[2]
