Tension in Kano as security operatives seal Emir’s Palace

By Achadu Gabriel, Kaduna

Palpable tension has enveloped Kano following the take over of Emirs palace in the ancient city by heavily armed security operatives.

Although no official reasons have been advanced for the taken over, however, the action may not be unconnected with plans by Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II to hold a meeting on the Nigerian economy, especially on tax reform bills, with some experts and meet with religious clerics on what to extend to the public during sermons of Friday prayer.

It is also said that the Emir is appointing a new District Head of Bichi, the former Emirate reduced to second class status by the current administration.

Despite the heavily armed police, with anti riot vehicles, the Emir came out of the residential area riding on a horse, to the palace where he holds sessions.

Efforts to meet the with the state’s Commissioner of Police CP Salman Dogo became futile, because he was said to have gone to the airport to receive the Vice President.

Meanwhile the Secretary to the State Government, Baffa Bichi told newsmen that the state Commissioner for Information will issue a statement to that effect.
