 Police probe Sallah killings in Kano, invite Emir Sanusi for questioning


The Police Force has invited Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II for questioning over the killings during the Sallah celebration in Kano.

The letter dated April 4, 2025 and signed by CP Olajide Rufus Ibitoye, Commissioner of Police (Operations), said the invitation was under the directive of the Inspector General of Police.

The monarch is to report to the Force Intelligence Department, opposite the Police headquarters, Area 11, Abuja, on Tuesday, April 8 by 10:00am.

“I have the directives of the Inspector General of police, through the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Force Intelligence Department (FID) to invite you for an investigative meeting with regards to an incident that occurred during the Sallah celebration within your domain.

“Your availability is highly sought for a purposeful investigation,” the invitation letter emphasised.

Two suspects have been arrested in connection with the killings, police said.

One Usman Sagiru, 20, and 35-year old Nasir Idris, have been arrested in connection with the killing and attack on vigilante members who were part of the entourage Emir Sanusi after Eid prayers on Sunday, March 30, at about 12:40pm.

The Kano Command also invited Shamakin Kano, Alhaji Wada Isyaku for interrogation following the reported defiance on the Durbar ban.

Sanusi presided over the Eid prayer attended by Governor Abba Yusuf and other top government officials at the Kofar Mata Eid prayer ground in Kano. 

He was also at Government House for a homage on the governor in continuation of the Sallah celebrations.

“While dispersing from the Eid praying ground, Usman Sagiru and others, who who now at large, allegedly stabbed Surajo Rabiu, a vigilante member from Sabon Titi Jaba Quarters who later died from injuries.

“Another vigilante member, Aminu Suleman, who was among those providing shield  for Emir Sanusi, sustained injuries and is currently receiving treatment at Murtala Mohammed Specialists Hospital Kano,” the police spokesman in Kano, Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, a Superintendent of Police (SP), said.

Kano Commissioner of Police Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, constituted a Special Investigation Panel (SIP) to investigate the violence that erupted in Sanusi’s entourage after the Eid prayers on Sunday, March 30.

The panel was charged to unravel the “remote and immediate causes” of the violence and “any defiance to the Command’s overt ban on all forms of Durbar or horse riding throughout the Sallah Celebration, based on security concerns in the state.”

The police command in Kano had banned all forms of Durbar and warned that anyone found engaging in such activities will be dealt with decisively.

Also, all forms of thuggery (Daba) activities would not be tolerated, and anyone engaging in any acti or conduct that might likely cause a breach of peace or breakdown of law and public order would be made to face the law.

Sanusi, who is in a tussle with Aminu Ado Bayero over the emirship in Kano, has been invited to field questions from the police force on the killings and alleged defiance to the ban on the Durbar or any form of it, The Nation learnt.
