Magajin Garin Daura, Bandits attacks; Daura emirate suspends Sallah festivities

Daura emirate council on Monday said it has suspended all festivities at the forth coming Eid-el Fitr celebration over incessant bandit attacks and kidnapping happening across the state including the Emirate.

Daily Trust reports that the Magajin Garin Daura, Musa Umar Uba, a younger brother to the Emir, is still in captivity since his abduction on May 1st and no communication has been established between his abductors and family.

The Emir of Daura, Umar Faruk, in a statement signed by Abdulmumini Salihu for the Danejin Daura, said aside the Eid prayer to be held, no other durbar or festivities shall be observed at the emirate.

However, special prayers have been directed to be offered at all five daily prayer and Jummat mosques across the emirate for peace.

It could be recalled that Katsina emirate also has suspended all festivities during the Sallah in view of the ongoing attacks by bandits across the state.
