The
Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has confirmed that four people
died when gunmen attacked the Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero on Saturday
morning.
Mr. Kwankwaso spoke to journalists shortly after emerging from the
Emir’s private quarters where he went to commiserate with him. He said
the four dead include the emir’s driver, orderly, and palace guards.
Meanwhile, reports say the former Chairman of Kumbotso Local
Government Area of Kano, Salisu Kura, was also killed during the attack.
A source said the chairman was actually travelling behind the convoy
of Mr. Bayero, but upon hearing a laud bang followed by sporadic
gunfire, he took a detour.
However, “unknown to him the attackers had also laid ambush for him and they killed him instantly,” our source said.
