Kano's 15th Emir Aminu Ado Bayero stopped all Eid durbar plans for safety reasons. Security officials warned about possible trouble from bad people during the event. The Emirate Secretary Awaisu Abbas Sanusi made the announcement after talking with police and other leaders. Officials want to protect people and their belongings across the state. The decision came after careful discussions with security experts.
The same thing happened during Eid-el-Fitr celebrations earlier when parades were also cancelled. Safety concerns forced leaders to make similar choices before to avoid problems. The Emirate asked residents to pray for peace in Kano and all of Nigeria. Police had already warned against holding durbar activities during the holiday season.
Another recognized Emirate under Khalifa Muhammadu Sanusi II started preparing for Sallah activities despite police warnings. The competing leadership situation creates tension about who can hold official ceremonies. Both groups claim authority over traditional celebrations in the ancient city. Security forces must deal with conflicts between the two Emirate factions.
