..."On hearing the drum-beat Galadiman Kano's army began to flee instead of bridling their horses front they bridled their tails. All was confusion as they attempted to save their lives. No one stood his ground some climbed into trees and were caught in them and killed or enslaved. Then a number of the horses and weapons were collected by the HADEJAWA on that day, enven a woman received her on slave. The capture and enslavement of men continued for three days"
Buhari's men took one thousand horses and killed a son of Sarkin Zaria, three sons of Sarkin Kano, and seventeen sons of the Kano chiefs as well as a grandson of Sultan Aliyu.
