However, it is said that after the fall of Sokoto in March, 1903, the then Emir of  Katsina Abubakar (1887-1905) received a letter from the British, that luggard would arrive  in Katsina and that he should prepare personally to receive him. On March, 28, 1903, the High Commissioner of the Northern  Nigerian Protectorate Captain Luggard arrive in Katsina on his way back from the installation of Muhammadu Attahiru   II as the new  Sarkin Musulmi of Sokoto, the first to be appointed by the British. It was at Yandaka Gate that the Emir of Katsina Abubakar made his final submission. 

Furthermore, the following statement summarized the whole scene of the British occupation of Katsina.  Luggard and his entourage approached the Yandaka City gate late in the afternoon, within moment, the Emir accompanied by some of Katsina King makers and leading officials came out through the gate and rode up to Luggard. The atmosphere was extremely tense and  fear was written across the face of the Emir for this was the first time he had ever seen a European. Neither men dismounted but merely clasped hands and utter a few words of greetings. Moment later Abubakar turned and rode back into the City, shortly after ward Luggard followed. In view of the above, Katsina has thus fallen into the British yoke very peacefully as no body was neither killed nor injured. Ultimate authority now passed to the British, it was equally important because Katsina was the last Emirate of the Sokoto Chaliphate to submit  to the British rule and it's submission completed the British conquest of Northern Nigeria. 

  The following day, Luggard called up on the Emir and his leading men, he told the Emir that British would recognized  him as a King. Abubakar was reinstalled, thus making it clear that he was now ultimately responsible not to the Amir Almuminina but to the High Commissioner. It has been said that Luggard took the Sword with which Korau  had used to slay Sanau as a symbol that power had now been transfer to the British. Besides, he further explained to the Emir on how to treat his  subjects and promised to spread the development of Education.   Moreover, he explained on how demestic Currency could be exchanged with that of the British. Following this, was the consolidation of British Authority that lasted for numerous  years.
