During the celebration of the Sallah festival in Kano, an unexpected event sparked controversy: the Emir of Kano was whistled by unidentified individuals. This incident occurred when the Emir took a different route to fulfill his religious obligations. Unfortunately, his presence was greeted with boos around Festival Primary School and the Zage/Zango neighborhoods.
This situation raised security concerns and led local police to take measures to maintain order. In an official statement, the police spokesperson warned anyone seeking to disrupt the Sallah celebration to refrain from any form of threatening behavior. Security personnel were deployed to prevent any disturbance and apprehend individuals attempting to sow chaos.
Police authorities are also urging the public not to carry weapons during and after the festivities, under penalty of severe penalties. This warning is intended to ensure the safety of all party participants and to prevent any potential slip-ups.
By closely monitoring events related to the celebration of Sallah, the Kano Police are doing all they can to ensure a peaceful and secure environment for the community. This increased vigilance aims to deter any attempt at disruption and to preserve social harmony during this period of religious festivities.
