The 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, on Friday walked more than 1 kilometer on foot to lead the Eid-el-Kabir prayers in Kano.


The monarch, who opted not to ride a horse, trekked from the Kofar Kudu Palace to the Eid prayer ground at Kofar Mata, where he led the two-rakat Eid prayer.

It would be recalled that during the Eid-el-Fitr celebration earlier this year, Sanusi rode on horseback, a traditional practice, which unfortunately led to an attack on his entourage on their way back to the palace, resulting in the death of one person.

Recall also that the t security agencies in the state had insisted that ban on all forms of sallah durbar activities in the state is still in force due to security threats.

In his sermon after leading the prayer, Sanusi urged residents of the state to intensify their cooperation with security agencies in the fight against rising insecurity, particularly the growing menace of thuggery across Kano.

The Eid prayer was attended by the Deputy Governor of Kano State, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, the Secretary to the Kano State Government, SSG, Umar Faruq, of the State Executive Council, traditional leaders, and thousands of Muslim faithful.

Meanwhile, on his way back to the palace, the 16th Emir, Sanusi was driven in his vehicle and was accompanied by a large crowd of followers on foot.

I tire o my brother

We ought to stop celebrating nonsense in this country. Starting from you OP. Man treks 1km to go pray and it's frontpage news. What level of fuckery is that? My neighbours cover that distance every morning—and very early momo oo—to go pray. Where's their fp?

Explain yourself.

Folks on nairaland! For a record, whatever you see Nigerians Muslims do, especially when it comes to the main Muslim festivals are all innovations. Just flex

Na him palava

The man that "wept" for Herbert Wigwe. Hmmmm

Save the cardio, give your people adequate education. You are a traditional and religious figure over there, you have the political clout to do it if and that's a big IF you want to.

No dey use religious shenanigans dey block our eyes, we are smarter now...well, not all of us are actually, some still dey starve dey shout "2027 we would vote a man from our tribe / religion"

You guys are not serious. There are kids that trek 3 km both ways every morning just to fetch water before going to school. After school they will also trek several kilometers hawking goods on the street.

Because of the elites that are responsible for the mess we are in, trek for 1 km you folks won't shut up about it. No matter they are treating you guys the way they do

I keep asking, when did it become that norm to refer to the succession position of the Emir of Kano when referring to him? I'm always seeing the 16th Emir of Kano. Why does it matter that he is the 16th? I've never heard people refer to the Ooni as the 51st Ooni of Ife.

Some reporters are obviously expecting the Emir to be removed at some point

1 km news.
