The
deadly attack on January 19, 2013 in the northern State of Nigeria on
the convoy of the Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero may have awakened embryonic
fears of insecurity – and may have brought a renewed awareness to the
doorsteps of many of the top ranking northern political elites and
religious leaders who had previously enjoyed a blanket sense of
security.
Credible information available to 247ureports.com
obtained through a competent source within the security operatives
stationed in Kano metropolis reveal that the attack on the Emir of Kano
State may have been orchestrated by persons other than the dreaded
Jihadist group, the Boko Haram – or its many copycat groups that have
sprung up in the many quarters of northern Nigeria. The security source
pointed to internal tussles within the Emirate as responsible for the
deadly attack on the Emir.
The security source – who happens to be a top ranking
operative in Kano – revealed that the security agents in Kano have been
apprehensive towards making arrests following the January 19, 2013
attack. “Indicators are clear that point away from Boko Haram as the culprit”
said the operative who went on to disclose that the Joint Task Force
[JTF] had made secret arrests of suspected persons in the last two days.
This he said while revealing that the suspects had been taken to a safe
location where they were undergoing interrogation. “So far we are pleased with what we are getting”.
The source recalled that Alhaji Ado Bayero was hit on
his way back from an Islamic graduation ceremony [Saukan Karatu] held at
the Murtala Mohammed Mosque in Hausawa Quarters of Kano city – where
three of his aides, and three others were killed- injuring others –
including the two sons of the Emir – who are believed to be heir
apparent to the throne.
