  • March 1903: Kano Vizier Ahmadu Mai Shahada and much of the Kano Cavalry was ambushed and defeated by British forces at Katarkwashi (Battle of Kano, 1903). The Vizier died, and the 7th emir of Kano was exiled. The British made Kano an important administrative centre and kept most of the Emirates institutions in the form of the Kano Emirate Council subject to the British Colony of Northern Nigeria.
