Emir of Kano State, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has
cancelled Eid festivities marking the end of the
Muslim holy month of Ramadan next week after a
deadly church bombing and a female suicide
bomber’s attempt to attack a university, an official
said Sunday.
A statement issued by the Emir reads: “Given the
critical situation we are in, the royal highness (of
Kano state, Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi) has
suspended all festivities associated with the
eminence including the Durbar and other traditional
events that are held during the Eid festival,” an aide
to the emir, Aminu Ado Bayero, told AFP.
