Kano Emirate Council has refuted an alleged attack on the convoy of the Emir of Kano Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero.
In a statement released to newsmen by Madakin Kano Alhaji Yusuf Nabahani said
“It has come to the notice of Kano Emirate council, that a story has been trending on various social media platforms on a purported attack on the Emir of Kano. By this write-up, Kano Emirate Council feels obliged to clarify that there has never been any attempted attack on His Highness, the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero.
According to Cigari, the incidence that may perhaps be translated as an attack and subsequently got escalated online was thus: – His Highness the Emir attended a foundation laying ceremony of Ahmadiyya Muslim clinic on Zaria Road, Umarawa, Kano, on Sunday 15 Zul-hijjah 1442AH (25th July, 2021) which went on peacefully.

Alhaji Yusuf Nabahani said while on a smooth and steady drive back to the palace, specifically at Dangi interchange, as is the tradition, vehicles movement was temporarily stopped for the convoy to pass.
He pointed out that, in an attempt to quickly drive on, a lone driver seemed to have thought of the last vehicle in the Emir’s long convoy as not being part of the convoy and so, made to move on, taking the driver of the last vehicle by surprise, hence a crash, which was taken for an attack.
By this time, the convoy of the Emir has gone far away from the scenery but directed that those affected, including the lone driver be taken for treatment. It was, therefore, astonishing to regard this incidence taken off in this context.
