This ward was located close to Kofar Kuyambana. Its history is traced to a Sharifi who was said to be the founder of the settlement. The Sharifai have a tradition of having a direct descent to Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H). The founder of the lineage of the Sharifai was believed to have settled in the ward during the reign of Sarkin Zazzau Yero (1888-1897 A.D).
