Emir of Zazzau Cancels Eid-el-Kabir Over Fear

However, the Emir said the council has adopted the measures due to the resurgence of third-wave COVID-19 as many emirate councils in the country had similarly cancelled the procession.

The cancellations were done in an effort to preserve the health of the people.

The Emir, therefore, advised the people to adhere to COVID-19 prevention protocols as advised by medical experts.

Bamalli also criticized the economic challenges experienced by his subjects and, therefore, appealed to the government at all levels to provide more ways of addressing the challenges.

He added that addressing the challenges would similarly impact the security in the area.

He commended various religious leaders for their prayers toward restoring peace in the emirate and enjoined the residents to be vigilant and report any suspicious movement to the nearest authority.

Bamalli, who commended the state government for various developmental projects in the emirate and the state at large, also appealed to the state government to improve the Zaria Water Project toward enhancing water supply in Zaria.

The Emir also tasked parents to watch their wards closely as the Muslims got set for the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
