Read Time:1 Minute, 50 Second
The Kano State Government has accused the Federal Government of being responsible for the security personnel’s blockage of Muhammadu Sanusi II’s palace yesterday.
During an appearance on a local radio station, Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, the Secretary to the State administration, made accusations against the federal administration.
Bichi said, “We were really surprised waking up to this development with police sealing off the entrance to the palace of Kano Emir, Muhammadu Sanusi II.
“What surprises us the most is that Kano is peaceful but it’s just a few people that have the backing of Abuja that don’t want Kano to be peaceful.
“The emir was to escort his district head of Bichi, Wamban Kano, pray with him there and then come back. We were all invited and then we woke up to this. We asked the reason and they told us it was an order given to them from above. Who is there above, it’s the Federal Government.
“We in Kano have resolved to stay in peace, peace will reign and nobody will come to Kano and destabilize that.
“The emir has appointed the district head and it stands, he will take him to his place and whenever he is ready to go there we are going there with him, no going back,” the Secretary to the state government, Bichi stated.
Earlier, the Emir, Muhammadu Sanusi II who later led the Friday congregational prayer at the Kano Central Mosque outside the palace, called on people of the state to be calm and shun violence.
“I warned you against falling into the traps of Kano enemies who want to see Kano on fire they always want to see killings, destruction of public properties and maiming of innocent lives,” the 16th Emir, Sanusi stated
On Friday, the Emir’s palace was blocked by security personnel from the DSS and the police. According to palace sources, there was an attempt to stop the Emir from going with his recently appointed Wamban Kano and Bichi District Head, Munir Sanusi, to take up his official district position in Bichi. However, other sources stated that the Emir’s scheduled meeting with an economist regarding the proposed tax reform bills could not be unrelated.
