According to a report by Daily Trust, there is currently a
deployment of heavily armed policemen around Kano Emir’s Palace and
personal residents of some senior council members of the emirate.
It was observed that about 10 Police Hilux Vans, which conveyed
security personnel to the place, were stationed at Kofar Kudu emir’s
palace, another 10 around personal residence of Chief of Staff to the
Emir of Kano Malam Muhammadu Sanusi along Iyaka road.
Further observation showed that another 10 police patrol vehicles
were stationed at the main entrance of Kano State Government House,
while one patrol van was kept at the personal resident of the incumbent
Galadiman Kano Alhaji Abbas Sanusi.
Also, security personnel were stationed at the main entrance of
Audu Bako State Secretariat. One of the policemen at the secretariat
confided in Daily Trust that they were conveyed to the secretariat as
early as 6am.
This may not be unconnected with the planned presentation of
letters of appointment to the four new emirs by the state governor but
when contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Haruna
Abdullahi, said he was not aware of the Police operation and would
rather not make any comment about it.
