Kano Protest: Emir Sanusi Speaks Out Against Property Destruction

The Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II, on Wednesday condemned the destruction of property at the Kano State Printing Press by hoodlums during the nationwide protests in the state.

Sunusi stated this shortly after an inspection of the affected sites including the NCC Digitals Centre to ascertain the level of destruction by hoodlums.

The emir denounced the acts, stating that the mission of these disgruntled elements was to destroy Kano, saying,” but by Allah’s grace they would not succeed.”

He emphasised the importance of taking proactive measures to protect lives and property particularly when credible security threats have been identified.

Sanusi expressed optimism that Kano State would overcome these challenges and bounce back for optimal growth.

He called for a thorough investigation into the incident, stating that it was clear that some individuals were hell-bent on destroying Kano.

He alleged that the youths who participated in the attacks were recruited by enemies of the state to act against the city’s interests.

The emir highlighted the historical significance of the printing press, which was built in 1933 and his family’s connection to it.

He urged Kano youths to be cautious of those who seek to harm the state and to identify their true enemies.

The emir also inspected the destroyed NCC Digital Centre, which was also vandalised by the hoodlums.

Sanusi’s visit and condemnation of the destruction demonstrated his commitment to maintaining peace and stability in Kano State and his determination to support the state’s recovery from the recent challenges.
