Kano Emirate

Heinrich Barth, a classical scholar who spent several years in northern Nigeria in the 1850s, estimated the percentage of slaves in Kano to be at least 50%, most of whom lived in slave villages.

Ado Bayero became the emir in 1963, and still has great influence, although subject to the government laws and political leaders.
