Kano police begins probe into durbar-related violence, alleged ignoring of ban by Sanusi

Published on April 03, 2025 at 05:05 AM

The Kano State Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, PhD, has constituted an eight-man Special Investigation Panel (SIP) to investigate the violence that erupted during the entourage of Emir Sanusi Lamido II after the Eid prayers on Sunday, March 30, 2025.

According to a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, the panel will focus on uncovering the remote and immediate causes of the incident and any defiance of the police command’s ban on all forms of Durbar and horse-riding during the Sallah celebrations. The ban, the statement emphasized, was imposed due to security concerns in the state.

The violence resulted in the death of Surajo Rabiu, a vigilante member from Sabon Titi Jaba Quarters, and injuries to Aminu Suleman from Kofar Mata Quarters, who is currently receiving treatment at Murtala Mohammed Specialists Hospital, Kano.

The police have arrested two suspects in connection with the incident: Usman Sagiru, 20, of Sharifai Quarters, and Nasir Idris, 35, of Kofar Mazugal Quarters. Additionally, the Command has invited Shamakin Kano, Alhaji Wada Isyaku, for questioning over alleged defiance of the Durbar ban.

Reaffirming the prohibition on Durbar activities, the police warned that violators would face decisive consequences. The Command also vowed to clamp down on all forms of thuggery (Daba) and any acts that could threaten public peace.

The Special Investigation Panel has been directed to act swiftly to ensure that justice is served and that any individuals found culpable are prosecuted in accordance with the law.
