The police command in Kano has expressed displeasure over some individuals booing Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II’s entourage as he returned to his palace after Eid prayers.

“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,” said the command’s spokesman, SP Abdullahi Kiyawa, on Monday.

Mr Kiyawa added, “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.”

The spokesman further stated that adequate security personnel had been deployed to arrest anyone attempting to disrupt law and order at the moment.

The police warned members of the public to desist from carrying weapons during and after the celebration, saying that anyone found would meet stiff penalties.

“Rigorous stop-and-search operations and patrols are ongoing in all local government areas in the metropolitan area to ensure a peaceful celebration,” Mr Kiyawa said.
