Kano Government Accuses Federal Government of Palace Blockade
The Kano State Government has accused the Federal Government of being behind the blockade of the Kano Emir’s palace on Friday, December 6.
Armed police and Department of State Services (DSS) operatives were reported to have sealed off the palace entrance, creating tension in the area.
Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II was set to speak to economists about the tax reform bills in the National Assembly and accompany the new district head, Munir Sanusi, to Bichi. Despite the blockade, the emir held court in the outer palace and led congregational prayers at the Kano Central Mosque.
Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, Secretary to the State Government, expressed frustration, stating on local radio that the move was unexpected and attributed it to the Federal Government. “We woke up to find police sealing the entrance to the palace.
Kano is peaceful, but a few individuals with support from Abuja are trying to disrupt that peace,” Bichi said. He emphasized that the emir’s plans, including escorting the district head, would proceed without interference.
Bichi reinforced the state’s commitment to peace, asserting that no one would destabilize Kano.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
