Following the deployment of troops at his palace, Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II, has advised his supporters against taking the law into their hands.

“I warn you against falling into the traps of the enemies of Kano, who want to see Kano on fire.

“They always want to see killings, destruction of public properties and maiming of innocent lives,” the Emir said while delivering the Friday sermon at the Emirate’s Jummaat Mosque.

He insisted that living peacefully with one another, no matter the provocation, is far better than violence.

“Islam admonishes you to be patient at any given time, whether in a difficult situation or at peace.

“If you are attacked, with patience, one becomes great but refusing to be patient creates uncertainty, difficulties and at the end, everyone loses out.

“That is why anybody who loves us and supports us, we ask him to at any given time shun violence no matter what.”
