Two additional gates were later constructed in the beginning of the 17th century A.D. These were: Kofar Jatau and Kofar Galadima. We do not know yet what precisely prompted the addition of these two gates. The Habe ruler of Zazzau Jatau (1782-1802 A.D.) is said to have constructed Kofar Jatau to facilitate the coming of scholars into the Birni. Hence the gate bears his name. However another tradition has it that Kofar Jatau derived its name from a prominent gatekeeper who held that office during the period of Sarkin Zazzau Jatau.
