Gagarau- the notorious prince that went on a rampage from the gates of
Kazaure to the border towns of Damagaram Empire in modern-day Niger Republic. Another clash worthy of reporting is the failed invasion by Damagaram's King Yakudima- the infamous king who attacked Kazaure during the reign of Sarki Mayaki, the grandson of king Dambo.

He took an army up to the Kazaure hills and occupied the fortified camp where Dan Tunku had made his headquarters. Soon afterwards, however, Dan Tunku made a surprise counter-attack and drove the Kano forces out again.
336:. When the case was brought to him, Bello judged in favour of Dan Tunku and reaffirmed Dan Tunku's independence of the Emir of Kano. Kazaure was thereby recognized to be a separate Emirate and its boundaries were demarcated. This decision brought the hostilities to an end and after that Kano and Kazaure lived together as good neighbours.
