[1][2] Below is a biography of Kumbari from Palmer's 1908 English translation of the Kano Chronicle.
In Kumbari’s time Sarkin Bornu May-Ali came to Kano to war.
Kumbari went to war with Dussi in the time of Sarkin Dussi Makuri and very nearly entered the town through the fierceness of his attack, but his advisers prevented him entering the town, saying to him, “Sarkin Kano, you have won the day, go home.” He listened to their advice and went home.
Mohamma Kumbari was active in collecting Jizia from the Kasua Kurmi, so that the market was nearly killed.
When he went out to Zanga he was advised to make haste, for it was said, “If you do not make haste you will not conquer Baudam, because there are many warriors in the town.” He said, “I hear.” When he came near the gate of the town, an arrow was launched at him and a battle ensued between the Kanawa and Kudawa.
When Kumbari saw that the battle was growing hot, he took a spear in his hand and attacked the wall of the town.
