Emir Sanusi urges Muslims to help needy, promote peace
The Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido, has urged Muslims to embrace the culture of helping the needy and preaching peace.
Mr Sunusi gave the advice during his sermon after leading the Eid prayers at Sheikh Ahmad Tijjani Jumu’at Mosque in Kofar Mata, Kano.
The emir emphasised the importance of following Prophet Muhammad’s teachings, which emphasised helping the needy, especially during Eid-al-Adha celebrations.
He also urged the public to intensify prayers for peaceful coexistence in Kano State and the nation.
It was observed in Kano that despite the economic challenges, many residents performed the Sallah sacrifices and dressed colourfully, while security personnel were deployed to ensure peace and security.
Some of the residents however expressed disappointment over cancellation of the Sallah durbar by security agencies due to security concerns.
