Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State experienced a hostile reception from angry youths as he made his way to the Kofar Mata Eid ground.
The governor faced jeers from the crowd along State Road, near the Nassarawa Royal House, where Emir Bayero was supposed to attend the Eid Prayer.
The crowd expressed their disapproval by chanting, “We are not in support, and Allah is sufficient for us.” In a separate incident, Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was targeted by stone-throwing youths near Festival Primary School in Kano metropolis.
A viral video captured voices exclaiming, “They are stoning, they are stoning.” The Emir also faced another attack at Zage, which led to security forces firing warning shots to disperse the crowd and quickly escort him back to his palace.
