Abdullah II Kaday was the king of the Kanem–Bornu Empire from 1315 to 1335. The cousin of Ibrahim Nikale, he succeeded Nikale after Nikale lost a power struggle with the Yerima, the leader of the north. He was also the king who brought a return to the patrilineal succession of the earlier Sefuwa kings.[1]
