Ahead of the forthcoming Eid-ul-Adha festival, the Kano State Police Command has announced a ban on all forms of Sallah durbar activities.
The statement issued by the spokesperson of the Kano police command, SP Abdullahi Haruna, said the ban is a joint decision by security agencies in Kano.
Haruna said the step is part of efforts to ensure peaceful celebrations and prevent a breakdown of peace and order during the Sallah festivities.
While wishing the people of the state happy celebrations, the statement warned that it would not tolerate any attempt to violate the ban.
It added that the ban is a continuation of the total ban on all forms of Durbar activities throughout the State, which was pronounced in the wake of the 2025 Eid-El-Fitr Sallah celebrations.
“The Kano State Police Command in collaboration with other security agencies in the State congratulates Muslim faithful and all law-abiding residents of the State ahead of the 2025 Eid-El-Kabir Sallah festivities.
“To ensure peaceful celebrations throughout the State, worshippers are enjoined to be law-abiding and conduct themselves peacefully, as adequate pre-emptive measures have been taken to guarantee peace and public safety across the state”, he added.
