Mohammed V

Muhammad VI (Muḥammad bin Idrīs ), called Muhammad Aminami and Muhammad Dunamami, ("Muhammad, son of Dunama".)

Merely 40 days after he became mai, Muhammad was forced to face an uprising led by Kade, a Bilala leader, who tried to restore the independence of the Bilala of Kanem (subjugated by Muhammad's father). Kade's successor renewed the Bilala's oath of fealty to the empire and Kanem was thus kept under imperial control. In one of his campaigns, Muhammad is said to have reached as far as Karbara in the west. Muhammad is recorded to have waged war against Kanta Kotal, the founder of the Kingdom of Kebbi.

Muhammad sent an embassy to Tripoli in 1534 or 1535.

Muhammad ruled for over a decade, perhaps for over twenty years. He died at Ngazargamu and was succeeded as mai by his brother Ali II Zainami.
