[1][2] Below is a biography of Muhammad Kukuna from Palmer's 1908 English translation of the Kano Chronicle.
The Madawaki Kuma turned him out, and gave the power to his sister Fasuma’s son Soyaki.
Kukuna drove away Fasuma, the wife of Shekkarau and mother of Soyaki, because of the grudge he bore her son.
On their saying it was Zanku, the Sarki said to him, “Next year come again, and let all your men come with their ‘hauyias’ on their shoulders.” “If you do so, Zanku,” said Kukana, “God willing, no Sarkin Kano will be driven out again.” Afterwards he sent for the Liman Yandoiya, and after giving him many presents said, “I want you to give me a charm which will prevent any Sarki from being again driven out of Kano.” The Liman said, “Very well, but you must increase your presents.” Kukuna did so, and gave him silver and gold.
The Liman told Kukuna to bury one charm in the Turaki Mainya’s house, another in the house of Turakin Kuka, and another in the “Treasury” of Kano; and he further added that a fire must be kept burning every day above the charms, and assured the Sarki that if his instructions were carried out no Sarki would ever be again deposed.
