The Kano State Police Command has commended residents for their peaceful behaviour as Emirs Muhammad Sanusi II and Aminu Bayero presided over Friday prayers simultaneously in Kano.
Both Emirs are laying claim to the throne. While Sanisu was
reinstated by Gov. Abba Yusuf, Bayero is contesting his dethronement in the
court.
The city of Kano was predicted to witness clashes between
the supporters of the two parties with the police warning potential
troublemakers to stay away from Kano.
While Sanusi led at the Central Mosque, Bayero, observed his
prayers at the Nasarawa Palace.
The Commissioner of Police, Mr Usaini Gumel, told the News
Agency of Nigeria in an interview on Friday, that prayers were conducted in a
peaceful atmosphere across the 44 LGAs of the state.
“I am very pleased with the orderly manner faithful
residents conducted themselves before, during and after the prayer’s without
rancour in all parts of the state.
The Commissioner praised residents for their cooperation
with police personnel deployed in and outside the metropolis, which resulted in
zero crime being recorded.
He appealed to residents to continue cooperating with the
police to ensure peaceful coexistence in the state.
“This is a testament to the effective collaboration between
law enforcement and the community.
“The police command looks forward to continued partnership
in maintaining peace and order in the state”, he said.
