The Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, proceeded with the annual Hawan Nasarawa ceremony on the third day of Shawwal, despite a ban on Eid-el-Fitr durbar activities imposed by the Kano State Police Command due to security concerns.
Traditionally, the event features the Emir and his entourage in a grand horseback procession to the Government House to pay homage to the governor.
However, in response to the ban announced by Commissioner of Police Ibrahim Bakori, Emir Sanusi II modified the procession, leading it in a motorcade instead of on horseback.
The Emir and his entourage departed the palace and made their way to the Government House, where Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf received him, preserving the long-standing tradition.
This year’s procession also followed a different route from the usual path.
Despite the changes, the Emir’s convoy was greeted by enthusiastic supporters along the way, maintaining the celebratory spirit of the occasion.
