Ibrahim Kura or Ibrahim bin Umar al-Kanemi (1840s-c. 1885) was the shehu of the Kanem–Bornu Empire from 1884 to 1885 or 1885 to 1886.
Reign of Ibrahim
Ibrahim became shehu in 1884 at the death of his brother Bukar Kura. His uncle, Abba Masta Kura had been recognised shehu before him but Ibrahim succeeded to bribe his way to the throne. His one-year reign was marked by an intense political crisis in Kukawa.[2][3]
