Kano Police Ban Durbar Festivities for Eid-el-Kabir 2025 Amid Security Concerns
In a significant development ahead of the 2025 Eid-el-Kabir celebrations, the Kano State Police Command has announced a ban on all Durbar activities, citing credible intelligence reports of potential security threats and the need to maintain public order.
Commissioner of Police Ibrahim Adamu Bakori stated that the decision was made after consultations with relevant security stakeholders, following credible intelligence reports indicating orchestrated plans by miscreants and their sponsors to use the Durbar as a proxy to undermine security and public order.
The police have advised worshippers to conduct their normal Eid prayers at designated Eid praying grounds, as traditionally done in the past. Adequate security deployments have been concluded to guarantee peace and public safety.
Avoid carrying unnecessary objects that may trigger suspicion.
No horse riding (Kilisa), car racing, or reckless driving.
Parents and guardians should caution their children against being used by subversive elements.
Commissioner Bakori emphasized the importance of ensuring a peaceful and secure environment throughout the festivities, urging residents to comply with security guidelines and report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station.
This decision follows the earlier cancellation of the Sallah Durbar by the 15th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, in the interest of peace.
