Aminu Ado Bayero writes Kano CP, seeks enhanced security for Sallah durba
The 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero has reached out to the Police Commissioner in Kano, requesting special security arrangements for the upcoming Sallah durbar celebrations.
In a letter bearing reference number Ref: HRH/ADM/06/1/217, dated 10th June 2024, and endorsed by the Emir’s Private Secretary, the request was formally made.
The Emir has called upon all district heads and traditional leaders to initiate preparations for the upcoming Sallah festivities.
The request read, “I’m directed by His Highness, The Emir of Kano, Alh Aminu Ado Bayero CFR, CNOL, JP; based on case number FHC/KN/CS/182/2004 in which the court ordered that Status Quo be maintained, I hereby write to convey his appreciation and sincere gratitude on your contributions and facilitation of peace and stability in Kano State during the period of Emirate Crisis.

The letter further availed the daily activities to be observed starting from Sunday, 16th May 2024 for Eid prayer at Kofar Mata Prayer ground.
The second activity will be the Hawan Daushe on Monday, 17th May 2024 at 4.00 pm, Hawan Nassarawa on Tuesday, 18th May 2024 from 8.00 am and Hawan Zagayen gari on Thursday, 20th May 2024 from 8.00 am.
The request is coming on the heels of a lingering tussle that has polarised the emirate, following Bayero’s dethronment by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf who reinstalled the 14th Kano Emir, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi.
The governor had signed the new Kano emirate council law passed by the state Assembly, dissolving all the five emirates created under former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
