FIVE days after his appointment as the new Emir of Kano, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi finally made royal entry into the ancient Kofar Kudu Palace Friday amid heavy security.
Sanusi stepped into the building for the first time since he emerged emir close to a week ago.
The new emir was earlier prevented from gaining entry into the palace by security officials who were allegedly acting on instructions from Abuja. The journey to the palace began from the Kano State Government House, Kano, by 3.30pm.
Sanusi drove into the palace in the official vehicles of the emirate via a newly constructed gate built in his honour in line with tradition.
He had led some of his subjects during Juma’at prayers at the state House where he admonished them to fear Allah and love one another.
