The town remained the capital of Kebbi until 1805, when it was burned in the Fulani jihad by Abdullahi dan Fodio, a brother of the jihad leader and later Emir of Gwandu. After Birnin Kebbi was incorporated into the Fulani Emirate of Gwandu, it was eclipsed in political importance by Gwandu (Gando) town, 30 miles east, and as a caravan and riverside market centre by Jega, 20 miles southeast, which lay at the head of navigation on the Zamfara River, a tributary of the Sokoto.
