Armed security operatives from the police and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) took over strategic places at Kano House of Assembly, on Wednesday, as the lawmakers commenced the amendment of the State Emirates Council law that created five Emirates.
The Independent Mirror reports that the amendment of the Kano state emirates council (Amendment number 2) law 2024 (1445AH) sponsored by the majority leader and member representing Dala constituency, Lawan Hussaini Chediyar Yan Gurasa, scaled first reading.
Journalists who came to cover the day’s proceeding were asked to identify themselves before they were allowed entry while all roads leading to the assembly complex were barricaded.
The Kano state emirates council law 2019 which created five new Emirates was first assented to by the ex-Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on December 5, 2019.
