Kogu[1] is a large village in Biu LGA, of southwestern Borno State, in northeastern Nigeria. Kogu is located on a tributary of the Yangari River about 34km (21miles) southwest of the town of Biu.[2]
Mari Watirwa, the 20th Emir of Biu, established his capital at Kogu about 1795, after he drove the Fulani out of Biu.[3] [4] In 1838, his grandson, Emir Mari Biya, moved the capital to the town of Biu.
