The Daura Emirate Council in Katsina State says it has suspended all activities lined up to mark the forthcoming Eid-Al-fitr Sallah celebrations scheduled to commence next week.
Okay.ng understands this in a statement by Malam Abdulmumini Salihu (Danejin Daura), on behalf of the emirate council in Daura on Monday.
The Danejin Daura said that the suspension of the Sallah activities was due to the recent unfortunate security breaches bedeviling some parts of the state.
He said that the recent happenings which led to the kidnap and brutal killings of some innocent citizens of the state were saddening and unfortunate.
The emirate said it would use the period to commiserate with the government of the state, citizens and the victims relations over the unfortunate development.
It added that during the day, only two raka’at Eid prayers would be observed after which marathon prayers and supplication would be conducted to invoke divine intervention over the precarious security challenges.
The council however, directed all the 16 district heads, 245 village heads and the wards heads, to organize and supervise prayers in their areas of jurisdictions with a view to achieving lasting peace and stability nationwide.
