Sanda Wuduroma, or Abu Sanda bin Buqar al-Kanemi, (?–1894) was briefly the shehu of the Kanem–Bornu Empire in 1894.

Reign

[edit]

At the death of his brother and predecessor Shehu Kyari, Sanda Wuduroma (also known as Abba Sanda Limannambe) became shehu in 1893 during the country's invasion by Rabih az-Zubayr. His reign was short-lived as he was captured and killed by one of Rabih's soldiers called Gadum in 1894. His name Wuduroma comes from the place of his assassination, Wuduro.[1][2]
