The Kano state government has reacted after police sealed the entrance to the palace of the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi.
The reaction was contained in a report that was published on the official X handle of DAILY TRUST on Friday.
In the report that surfaced online, the Secretary to the State Government, Abdullahi Baffa Bichi said they were surprised that the police acted in such manner. He said when they asked why the entrance was sealed, they were told that the order was from above.
He was quoted as saying that;
“We were really surprised waking up to this development with police sealing off the entrance to the palace of Kano Emir, Muhammadu Sanusi II.
“The emir was to escort his district head of Bichi, Wamban Kano, pray with him there and then come back. We were all invited and then we woke up to this. We asked the reason and they told us it was an order given to them from above. Who is there above, it’s the Federal Government”.
