Police denounce Sanusi’s booing, warn troublemakers

The Kano State Police Command has condemned the booing of the entourage of the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamidi Sanusi, by some individuals while he was returning to his palace after Eid prayers.

This was contained in a statement issued by the command’s spokesman, SP Abdullahi Kiyawa, on Monday, June 17, 2024.

Kiyawa said the incident occurred when the Emir took a different route, as part of his religious obligation.

He said Sanusi was booed within the vicinity of Festival Primary School and Zage/Zango areas by some unidentified persons.

The police spokesman noted: “Currently, the police command is monitoring the entire Sallah events to ensure law and order are maintained, adequate security measures are in place to tackle any form of security threats.

“Accordingly, the police command is warning individuals intending to cause chaos or breach the peace during the Sallah celebration to stay clear of the state.”

Kiyawa stated that adequate security personnel has been deployed to arrest anyone attempting to cause a breakdown of law and order in Kano.

He also warned the people of the state to desist from carrying weapons during and after the celebration, saying anyone found would meet stiff penalties.

“Rigorous stop-and-search operations and patrols are ongoing in all Local Government Areas (LGAs) in the metropolitan area to ensure a peaceful celebration,” Kiyawa added.
