The Inspector General of Police (IGP) has reportedly invited the former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, for questioning over his alleged involvement in a violent incident that occurred during the recent Eid-el-Fitr celebrations in Kano State.
Sources within the police force revealed that the invitation followed disturbances that broke out during the Sallah festivities, which left several people injured and properties destroyed. The chaos was reportedly linked to a controversial procession involving Sanusi’s supporters.
Authorities are investigating whether the former emir’s presence and activities during the event violated existing protocols or contributed to the unrest. The IGP is said to be treating the matter with urgency due to its potential implications for public order and traditional authority in the state.
As of the time of this report, there has been no official response from Sanusi’s camp. However, the development has sparked renewed tension in Kano’s political and traditional circles, with many observers calling for calm and due process as the investigation unfolds.
