Kano Residents Warn Police Ahead of Sanusi-IGP Meeting: A City’s Call for Peace
Kano Residents Send Strong Message to Police as Sanusi Heads for IG Meeting Tuesday
By AUDOZ BUZZ Newsroom
The heartbeat of Kano is steady—but cautious—as the city’s residents raise their voices ahead of a highly anticipated meeting between former Emir Muhammad Sanusi II and Nigeria’s Inspector General of Police (IGP), scheduled for Tuesday in Abuja.
In a city layered with history, power, and prestige, the whispers are growing louder: “Tread carefully,” residents warn the police.
For many, the memory of Sanusi’s controversial dethronement in 2020 is still raw. The tension may have faded from the streets, but it lingers in conversations, in prayers, and in the cautious optimism of the people who lived through the storm.
“Let the police remain neutral. This is not the time for intimidation or political games,” said Alhaji Musa Haruna, a community elder in Gwale. “Kano deserves peace and dignity.”
Sources suggest the Tuesday meeting could focus on emerging traditional leadership shifts in Kano—a sensitive subject that could ignite political sparks if mishandled. Civil society voices have begun ringing the alarm, calling for transparency and non-interference from the state’s security forces.
Maryam Bako of the Northern Women’s Forum put it plainly: “We will not accept a repeat of the past. We are watching. Nigeria is watching.”
The Nigeria Police Force remains tight-lipped about the meeting’s agenda, but Kano’s streets are alive with speculation—and resolve. To many, this is not just a routine meeting; it’s a litmus test for justice and institutional integrity.
As Sanusi prepares to sit down with the nation’s top police chief, one thing is clear—Kano is not silent, and the people are not asleep. The city has spoken. The question is: Will the powers that be listen?
