Maguzawa are a subcategory of the Hausa people. Most of the citizens are found in the rural areas close to Kano and Katsina and other parts of Northern Nigeria. They are known to have facial scarification similar to the early rulers of Kano and Katsina. In terms of culture, there are major differences between Muslim Hausas and the Maguzawa in terms of religion and social organization.
