Anguwan Fatika is situated to the west of Anguwan Juma along the Kamacha stream. The circumstances leading to the establishment of this ward lies in the aborted attempt at the assassination of the then Habe ruler of Zazzau, Ishaku Jatau (1802-1806) by the then Madaki Kyankyaro. Following his role in foiling the coup, Dikko the Chief of Fatika was given a territorial reward for saving the King from his assailants. The territorial land was then named Fatika after the town of Fatika that was located about 30km to the west of Zaria.
Anguwan Fatika was extensively populated by a group of royals titles and the then Sarkin noman Zazzau. Therefore, in view of the antiquity of noma (farming) in Zazzau as mentioned and the institutionalisation of Sarkin noma, the ward must have been in existence long before this period and might have been bearing a different name or under another ward.
