The Kano State Police Command has launched an investigation into the attack on the entourage of Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi 11, at the Kofar Mata Eid-el-Fitr prayer ground yesterday in Kano.
Following the prayers, a group of hoodlums began hurling stones at the Emir’s procession, attempting to disrespect the traditional leader, who was adorned in customary attire and protected by a large contingent of palace guards.
During the attack, a vigilante officer, Surajo Rabiu of Sabon Titi Jaba Quaters was reportedly stabbed to death while another officer, Aminu Sulaiman, of Kofar Mata Quarters, sustained injuries.
According to a police statement signed by its spokesman, Haruna Kiyawa, the Command has commenced an investigation into the incident and has already extended an invitation to Shamakin Kano, Alhaji Wada Isyaku for interrogation.
“The command has arrested one Usman Sagiru, 20, of Sharifai Quarters, in connection with the alleged killing and attack on vigilante members that occurred in the entourage of Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II after Eid prayers on Sunday, March 30, 2025, at about 12:40pm..
“While dispersing from the Eid praying ground, Usman Sagiru and others, now at large, allegedly stabbed Surajo Rabiu, a vigilante member from Sabon Titi Jaba Quarters and who later died from injuries.
“Another vigilante member, Aminu Suleman from Kofar Mata Quarters, sustained injuries and is currently receiving treatment at Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital Kano, while they were providing a shield for Emir Sanusi,” the statement said.
Kiyawa reiterated the police ban on all forms of Durbar and warned that anyone found engaging in such activities will be dealt with decisively.
He warned that all forms of thuggery (Daba) activities will not be tolerated. He added: ” Whoever engages in any act or conduct that may likely cause breach of peace or breakdown of law and order will be arrested and made to face the wrath of the law.
“We appeal to members of the public to remain calm and cooperate with the police to ensure a peaceful and secure environment for all.”
