The Public Relations Officer of the Kano State Police Command, Abdullahi Haruna, declared that the Police had withdrawn permission given to members of the public, civil society organisations, political parties, NGOs and other groups for public activities.

It was observed that the impasse between Governor Abdulahi Ganduje and Emir Sanusi Muhammad II, has been generating tension in the state, essentially, as the governor was mobbing closer to dethroning the Emir.

There was also report on Saturday that two Palace aides loyal to Emir Sanusi were suspended by the state government.
