Aggrieved Karaye youths
Some aggrieved youths in Karaye Local Government Area of Kano State chased away the representative of the 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, on Thursday.
According to an eyewitness who asked not to be named, the incident happened when the Emir’s representative was on his way to the palace in company of the Local Government interim chairman, Wada Nababa Tudun-Kaya.
Alhaji Ibrahim Abubakar II, former Emir of Karaye, is one of the five monarchs sacked by the Kano state government.
The witness said, “What happened was the Emir’s representative came into town and was received by the interim chairman first. So, on their way to go and register his presence, angry youths attacked them.
“You know we still want our emirates that were dissolved and we are yet to recover from what happened. What happened isn’t violent at all but one of the glasses of their vehicle was destroyed.
“There is a police station in front of Karaye palace; that helped in bringing the situation under control as the police dispersed the crowd,” he added. (Daily Trust)
