A coalition of Kano Civil Societ Organizations- the Kano Unity Forum (KYF) has charged the citizens in the state to shun any form of violence and equally embrace peace and harmony.
In a statement jointly signed by the members of the coalition, they described the ongoing Kano Emirates tussle as unfortunate and called for a ceasefire from the two warring camps.
Emergency Digest reports that there has been tension in the metropolis ever since the dethronment of former Emir Aminu Ado Bayero and subsequent reinstatement of Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as 16th Fulani Emir of Kano State.
