Sallah: Security concerns force Emir Bayero to cancel Kano’s Durbar celebration
The 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Bayero, has announced the cancellation of the Eid-el-Fitr Durbar celebration due to security concerns.
Mr Bayero made this announcement while briefing newsmen at his Nasarawa Mini palace in Kano on Wednesday night.
He said the peaceful coexistence of the people takes precedence over the Durbar celebration.
Mr Bayero had initially planned to hold the Durbar celebration, which would have coincided with his fifth anniversary on the throne.
He noted that respected Islamic clerics, elders, stakeholders, and council members advised him to cancel the celebration to maintain peace.
Mr Bayero urged the people of Kano to use the Sallah celebration period to visit families and friends and to observe the festivities in a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
He prayed for Allah’s blessings and mercy during Ramadan, hoping that the people of Kano would receive forgiveness and mercy.
