The 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, has that the durbar ceremonies earlier scheduled were halted following recommendations of the security and for peace to continue to reign in the State.
The Emir said this while delivering a broadcast at the Nassarawa mini palace on Saturday.
“On this day when all Muslim faithful are observing the day of Arafat, we felicitate with all during this important occasion,” he said.
“Eid is practiced and we are taught by our holy prophet to sacrifice animals if we are opportune to. For those who cannot afford it, we pray to Allah to grant them what to sacrifice.
“We therefore felicitate with the President and the Governor on the occasion of Sallah and we pray that God gives them the courage and strength to deliver.
“We call on them to continue to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people, protection of their lives and properties while also the people should pray for their leaders.
“We have lifted all durbar activities following the recommendations of security operatives for peace to continue to reign.”
Also, Sarkin Dawaki, Aminu Babba Dan Agundi announced that the Emir will be observing his Eid prayer at the Nassarawa mini palace on Sunday by 8am.
Meanwhile, Justice Liman Mohammed of the Federal High Court, Kano State, declared that the dethroned Emir, Ado Bayero has jurisdiction to be heard.
The case filed by the kingmaker, Aminu Baba Dan Agundi, is that of a fundamental human rights case in the emirate tussle.
The development comes days after a Kano State High Court, ordered substituted service on Bayero and four other emirs in a case filed by the Kano State Government, to restrain them from parading themselves as emirs.
