Kano citizens claim IGP’s invitation to Emir Sanusi part of alleged plan to impose state of emergency

Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II has been invited by Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun to meet on April 8 in Abuja regarding the Sallah celebration incidents in Kano.
Residents of Kano expressed concerns that the police invitation to Emir Sanusi is part of a plan to create unrest, fearing it could lead to a declaration of a state of emergency.
Kano State Police had previously arrested an individual in connection with a killing during the Sallah festivities, which were subject to a ban on durbar celebrations for safety reasons.
An official from the Kano Emirate stated that Emir Sanusi did not violate the durbar ban, as the recent events were not a durbar but normal practice following Eid prayers.
