At some point following his deposition from the throne in 1606, Emperor Susenyos of Ethiopia appointed him governor of Chilga (also known as Ayikel), an important market town near the Ethiopian border with Sennar.
Ayikel is mentioned, by its older name of "Chilga", by James Bruce, as a marketplace on the border between the Kingdom of Sennar and Ethiopia which was under their shared administration, and over which Emperor Susenyos in 1606 appointed the deposed king of Senaar, Abd al-Qadir as governor.
