Katsina and Daura Emirates councils in Katsina State have suspended public activities for the forthcoming Eid-el-Kabir, citing security reasons.

Activities affected are public display by horse riders (Durbar) at the palace of the Emir of Katsina, Dr. Abdulmumin Usman; and that of the Emir of Daura, Faruk Umar.

The two emirate councils, however, implored residents in the two councils to use the Sallah period in offering prayers for peace in the state and in the country.

In May, the Emir of Daura had also suspended activities marking the end of the Ramadan fast in the emirate council, also for security reasons.

The royal father rather directed district heads to join the people in their domains to pray for peace in Nigeria.

Concerning the latest decision, sources revealed that the step was in connection with current security situation in the state.

The spokesman for the Katsina Emirate Council, Iro Bindawa, confirmed the development on Wednesday.

He said, “Yes, the Emirate council has suspended activities concerning Durbar during the Sallah, but his Eminence has implored residents to seize the Sallah period in offering prayers for the state and for Nigeria.”

The decision of the Daura Emirate council on the suspension of public activities during the Sallah was contained in a letter addressed to the Emirate council members and the Emir’s advisers.

The letter was dated 13, July 2021 and signed by Danejin Daura, Abdulmumini Salihu, on behalf of the secretary of the council.

The statement further revealed that special prayers should be offered for sustainable peace in the state immediately after the Eid prayers on Sallah day.

The Emirate council spokesman, Usman Ibrahim, also confirmed the development. He said, “The circular is already in the public domain.”

The man called Buhari should be ashamed of himself. A uselessss man that cannot tackle insecurity in his home town, thinks that ruling Nigeria is meditating some portions of Quran and speaking incoherently everytime. What a senile of a man ruling intellectuals.

The Dulllard is after MNK because MNK is the reason for insecurity in Daura. Uselessss buffoon.

Hahahahaha... Dis news sweet me. Their son is doing well.... Let them enjoy the Peace and Tranquility their son is dishing out

I remember recommending this when sultan gave the sighting but some shallow brains were grapsing at straws

There is nothing to celebrate in all these holidays, after all the same bandits and Terrorists would join in the celebration

They should stop the festivities henceforth and keep using it for sober reflection

Why won't sallah be suspended in Katsina when almost half of the populace had relocated to Niger Republic due to incessant kidnappings and bandit attacks and the so called leader at State and Federal level could not speak the language the attackers would understand, talk more of assuring adequate security
