In what appears to be a reply to the Boko Haram leader, Shekau, The Emir of Kano, His Royal Highness, Muhammad Sanusi II, has called the bluff of the deadly Boko Haram militants who threatened to attack the monarch for his blistering condemnation of their bloody affairs.
The leader of the Islamist terror group Shekau in a recent video threatened Sanusi who has not spared words in blastering the insurgents for their mindless killing of innocent citizens.
But Sanusi in what appears to be in response of that threat said he remained protected against any evil attack and nothing was going to happen to him except the will of Allah, the creator.
“I am protected and nothing is going to happen to me”, the Emir was reported to have said during a Friday special prayer session held at the Kano City Central Mosque (Masallachin Sarki) on Friday.
Leadership report quotes Sanusi, who presided over the special prayer, as reiterating his earlier call on the general public to protect themselves against the attacks of the Boko Haram sect.
On Shekau’s position on attacking religious groups, Muhammad Sanusi II urged all Muslim faithful and the followers of Tijjaniyya, Qadiriyya and Izala religious movement to be vigilant and continue to guard themselves and rise against insurgent attacks.
He called on the people to be vigilant and protect their mosques, churches, markets and hospitals against any attack.
According to the emir, it is rather unacceptable for people to abandon their daily activities or desert places of worship because of the fear created by evil doers. He urged all not to succumb to fear and be their brothers’ keepers.
