List of rulers of Kano

The following is a list of rulers of Kano, a city and emirate in northern Nigeria. Once the Hausa Kingdom of Kano, it was conquered by Fulani Usman dan Fodio in 1805, who installed a Fulani Emir of Kano in place of the old kings. The early rulers are known almost exclusively from a single source, the Kano Chronicle, which was composed in the late 19th century, ending with the reign of emir Muhammadu Bello dan Dabo, but is thought to have been based on historical documents since lost and is notable for its detail and lack of bias in referring to the deposed original dynasties.[1]
