The Emir promised to accept whatever the outcome of the legal process.

“We call on the authority to do justice in this matter. Kano is a very influential state in Nigeria. Whatever affects Kano affects Nigeria. May peace reign in Kano. We pray for Allah to bless Kano with responsible and just leaders. Justice is the way to go on every issue. There will be justice. Nobody is above law, we will accept whatever the law says. I appreciate all the people who have shown concern.
“Justice will take its course. We will keep on praying for peace in Kano State. May Allah the Almighty protect us.”
