Kano police assure of security amid tension over parallel Sallah durbar

Published on March 26, 2025 at 08:30 PM

Amid rising concerns over a planned parallel Sallah Durbar celebration in Kano, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, has assured residents of heightened security measures to prevent any breakdown of law and order.

During a meeting with the Kano State Coalition of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC), CP Bakori acknowledged the potential for clashes due to the parallel celebrations. He emphasized that the police, in collaboration with other security agencies, are actively strategizing to ensure a peaceful and incident-free festivity.

“We are aware of the situation and are taking all necessary steps to prevent any violence,”; Bakori stated. “The command is working closely with security agencies to maintain law and order. We urge residents to remain calm and prioritize peace.”;

The CP further called on community leaders, religious figures, and opinion leaders to encourage unity and discourage any actions that could disrupt public safety. He urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to law enforcement authorities.

The security concerns stem from the ongoing leadership tussle between the 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, and the 15th Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero, both of whom have reportedly made preparations for separate Sallah Durbar celebrations.

Despite these tensions, CP Bakori reaffirmed that security forces are fully prepared to handle the situation, ensuring that residents can celebrate Sallah without fear of violence or disruptions.
