The Kano Emirate Council has said it cancelled the traditional Durbar to commemorate the Eid-el-Kabir celebration due to the health condition of the Emir, Alhaji Ado Bayero.
The District Head of Dala, Alhaji Aminu Bayero, made this known in Kano, saying that riding of horse by the youth was also cancelled.
Aminu, who refused to give details of the health condition of the Emir, emphasized that the riding of horses in Kano Metropolis by youths was punishable.
He said: ?The decision was taken because of the manner some of the youths rode the horses, which had endangered lives of the masses, particularly children.?
The district head warned that ?anyone who flouted the order would be arrested and prosecuted. The Emirate will not fold its arms and allow such horse riders to continue to constitute a nuisance in the city.?
Among the traditional Sallah activities that were supposed to have held were Hawan Sallah, Hawan Daushe, Hawan Nasarawa and Hawan Dorayi.
