The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi,
on Saturday paid N3 million at the Central
Prisons, Kano, to secure freedom for 11
inmates of the prison.
This is contained in a statement the Media
Officer at the Emir’s palace, Alhaji Sha’aban
Ibrahim, on Sunday in Kano.
The statement said that the amount was fines
option given the inmates by the courts at the
time of their convictions.
It explained that the monarch secured the
release of the inmates on humanitarian
ground, “”due to either ill health or old age.””
The statement quoted the emir as urging the
beneficiaries of the gesture to be of good
conduct when they resumed public life and
avoid issues that would take them back to
prison.
Meanwhile, the emir has urged Muslims in the
state to imbibe the spirit of tolerance and
sacrifice.
The emir made the call on Sunday while
addressing Muslims after the Eid-El-Fitr
prayer at the Kofar Mata ground in Kano.
He appealed to them to emulate Prophet
Muhammed’s life, stressing that the one
month fasting should be seen as a period of
cleansing and atonement.
“After the Ramadan, we should be more
determined to live in the path of Allah as true
believers.
‘’We should also continue to emulate the
exemplary attributes of Islam which are love,
tolerance and peaceful co-existence“, he said.
The monarch also called on the people to
continue to pray for peace, unity and progress
of the state and the country.
Earlier in his sermon, the Sanusi, who led the
prayer, stressed the need for Muslims to fear
God and continue to use all the lessons of the
Ramadan to foster unity in the state and
country.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports
that the prayer which started at about 9 a.m.
was attended by the state’s Deputy Governor,
Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, members of the State
Executive Council, members of the Emirate
Council and some members of the Diplomatic
Corps.
