Eid Durbar: Emir Sanusi Bends To Police Warning, Cancels Celebration
The 16th Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi ii, has directed all his district heads and other traditional leaders to immediately suspend every preparation for the Eid-Kabir Sallah Durbar.
The Emir said that the postponement became necessary in order to safeguard the peace and tranquility the city enjoyed, coupled with the fact that Intelligence reports revealed to him possible attacks on his personal self.
He said, “we have credible intelligence reports that some youths around Zage and Kofar Wambai have been actively mobilized by some unpatriotic politicians to attack us.”
Muhammadu Sanusi II added that his decision also followed his meetings with the Kano State Government which showed him a lot of evidence of nefarious plans to use his movement to create tension in Kano.
“Therefore, we are directing all our District Heads, Wards and Village Heads to strictly adhere to the postponement and stay in their location to avoid any unforeseen circumstances,” he said.
He prayed for a peaceful Sallah celebration in and around the ancient city.
He also commended the government for their unrelenting efforts to forestall any security challenges.
Kano Police Command had issued a warning and banned Sallah Durbar.
