The 16th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, has said anyone trying to cause chaos or disrupt the peace enjoyed in Kano State will be consumed by fire.

According to the emir, those challenging his throne are going against the will of God.

The monarch stated this in a voice message in Hausa aired by Premier Radio in Kano.

He stated that the tussle over the emirate was not about him personally but about divine destiny and God’s will.

He urged residents to maintain peace and order, stressing that violent reactions would not yield any positive result.

“We are calling on the people to be law-abiding citizens. This tussle is not targeted at me; they are fighting what God has destined to happen. God doesn’t need anyone’s support. I am pleading with you to be patient and prayerful. Surely, God will continue to support those who are fair and just,” he said.

“Fire will consume anyone who is planning to set Kano state on fire. May he never witness peace in his life. May Allah protect our country and our lives. Insha’Allah, whoever is challenging God’s decision will not end well.”
