The Nigeria Police headquarters has invited the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, for questioning over an incident that occurred during Eid festival in Kano.

The police, alongside other sister security agencies in the state, had earlier cancelled all durbar activities, particularly equestrian procession, in the state, citing security reasons.

However, while the emir was marching to attend prayer at Kofar Mata Eid Ground on March 30, a member of the vigilante protecting the emir was stabbed to death, while scores were injured.

Following the incident, insiders told this newspaper that the Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun had earlier directed the state commissioner of police to arrest the emir.

According to sources, the CP had explained to the IGP that the incident had nothing to do with violation of durbar ban, and that the emir did not use horses to visit the Government House as the tradition provides.

Perhaps dissatisfied with the CP’s explanation, the IGP directed the Force Intelligence Department to take over the case file and invite the emir to Abuja for questioning.

Palace sources however told DAILY NIGERIAN that the emir has yet to formally receive the letter.

The only thing saving Governor Abba Yusuf is immunity, this was the second time he would be disregarding police warnings in Kano over security issues and his neglect for the warnings led to loss of lives. If not for immunity, he would have been thrown into DSS custody. How can leaders of a state disrespect security institutions and what do you expect of ordinary citizen if you yourself is a bad example of a leader. Do you think security is a joke?. And Sanusi must also face the music, both Sanusi and Bayero were asked to cancel the durbar activities based on security reports, while Bayero cancelled all activities totally, Sanusi was gallivanting across the streets in procession. He likes unnecessary showmanship.

Sanusi don jam trouble.
These people don't know who they are dealing with.
They probably think it is another Jonathan.
