Aliyu Ibn Abdullahi-Maje Karofipronunciationⓘ was an Emir of Kano, a state in what is now Northern Nigeria. Also known as Babba and Mai Sango- The Gun User. Emerging at the end of the Basasa, his reign was marked by a series of costly wars and fortification projects that heavily militarised the erstwhile commercial Emirate. His escapades as Emir of Kano were recorded in the official historical canon of the Kano Emirate, the Tarikh Al Kano.[1] The ballad of Ali Zaki, commemorates his reign as the last Emir of Kano.
