Three Feared Dead As Sanusi Receives Staff Of Office

Three people were feared dead and scores of others injured in Kano when supporters of the first son of the late Emir of Kano and those of the former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Lamido Sanusi clashed in the city on Monday. The clashes which were later brought under control by security operatives took place shortly before Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso presented Sanusi with a letter of appointment and staff of office as the Emir of Kano. Areas where the pro and anti-Sanusi protesters had a face-off at about 10.30am were the Emir Palace Road and Kofar Nassarawa. The youth made bornfires on the roads in Kofar Nassarawa and on both sides of the Emir Palace Road before heavily armed policemen arrived and dispersed them. Some minutes after, they regrouped and attacked one another. Police however reinforced and cordoned off the roads. The Public Relations Officer of the Police State Command, Magaji Musa-Majia, who said normalcy had been restored to the troubled areas, advised members of the public to go about their business without fear of molestation .
