Summary
| Description |
English: "Cumbered with gear though he seems, there is a massive medieval dignity about the Shehu of Bornu when thus equipped he appears at the head of his bodyguard. His quilted robes are themselves protection against enemy blades, and, further, many Northern Nigerians wear coats of chain mail said, probably with truth, to have belonged to the Crusaders"
