Muhammadu Maiturare (Arabic: محمد مايتوراري) was Sultan of Sokoto from 1915 until his death in 1924.
Prior to becoming Sultan, Maiturare held the title of Marafa Gwadabawa and was a member of the traditional committee that elected Muhammadu Attahiru II, Lugard's choice for the post of Sultan.
He was also noted as an effective military leader who pacified the area north of Sokoto which had been raided frequently by the Kebbawa.
[2] On June 19, 1915, Maiturare was elected by the Sokoto traditional council[3] as the successor to Muhammadu Attahiru II.
The petition was based on allegations of two Sokoto chiefs, Usman the Majidadi and Saidu Sintali.
