Muhammad Alwali Ibn Yaji (died 1807) was the last sultan of the Sultanate of Kano. His reign coincided with a period of upheavals in Sudanic History that saw a series of religious Jihads waged by the Fula People. In 1807, after a protracted struggle with Fula clans, Muhammad Alwali was ambushed and assassinated at Rano in modern Kano. His death marked the end of the Habe line of Hausa aristocrats in Kano.[1]
