the best biographical studies of Sultan Muhammad Bello’s life is Waziri Junayd ibn Muhammad al-Bukhari who wrote two prose works and at least one poetic work on the life of the Sultan. You can get these at the Waziri Junayd History Bureau or you can find printed copies of them in the market place of Sokoto published by Gaskiya Press. In English there is the phenomenal works of Ibrahim Sulaiman as well as the seminal work called the Sword of turth by Murray Last.
