Armed policemen and operatives of the State Security Service (SSS) have cordoned off the Kano Emir’s Palace at Kofar Kudu, restricting movement in and out of the premises.
The heightened security comes as Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II is scheduled to accompany the newly-appointed Wamban Kano, Munir Sanusi, to his district posting in Bichi.
Reports from Daily Nigerian indicate that a similar security arrangement has been enforced at the Bichi palace, with armed policemen stationed around the area.
The reason behind the heavy security deployment remains unclear, but the development has drawn significant attention from residents and observers.
Further details are awaited as the situation unfolds.
