history
Takey, now an administrative village in the municipality of Dungass, became the seat of a Sossébaki state at the beginning of the 19th century, alongside Mirriah and Wacha . The Hausa dynasty of the Sossébaki traced their centuries-old rule back to a prince from Bornu . In 1841 Dam Barara, the first ruler in Takey, who had been able to maintain a certain degree of independence from the Sultan of Zinder , died. Dam Barara's successors were Kamajé from 1841 to 1846, Zaneydou from 1846 to 1851 and Mayaki from 1851. The latter two could only act as governors of the Sultan von Zinder.
Mayaki founded the village of Dungass and gave up Takey as a mansion. From 1882 to 1887 Mayaki was replaced by Sultan Ténimoun dan Sélimane von Zinder by Mayaki's son Abdou, but was then able to regain his rule and rule in Dungass until his death in 1894. He was succeeded by Ousmane, another son of Mayakis. Ousmane was arrested by the British in Kano in 1906 and exiled. Thereupon, Mohamed, a third son of Mayakis became ruler in Dungass.
In 1988, an administrative post ( poste administratif ) was set up in Dungass, a lower administrative unit headed by a chef de poste administratif . The rural community of Dungass emerged from the canton of Dungass in 2002 as part of a nationwide administrative reform. The administrative post was removed from the Magaria department in 2011 and raised to the Dungass department.
