Agency Report
The police command in Kano has disclosed that Emir Muhammad Sanusi II will lead the Friday prayers at the central mosque, not Aminu Bayero.
Police commissioner Usaini Gumel stated in a telephone interview on Friday that Mr Bayero will observe his Friday prayers in the mosque within the Nasarawa Palace, where he currently resides.
The police chief in Kano said the force and other state security agencies would provide robust security at the Emir of Kano’s palace, where Mr Sanusi is expected to lead the Jummah prayers.
“The police urge the general public to disregard the false reports and misinformation circulating on social media and go about their activities without fear of molestation or intimidation.
“The police will continue to provide necessary security to ensure that will enable residents to observe their Friday congressional prayers peacefully without threats to their lives and property,” Mr Gumel said.
He urged the people to volunteer credible information on the movement of dubious characters for prompt security action in Kano.
