Gunmen around 12 noon on Saturday attacked the convoy of the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Dr. Ado Bayero, killing his driver and a traditional guard who tried to protect him, and wounding two of his sons who were also int he convoy.
Daily Trust gathered that the Interim Management Officer of Kumbotso local government who was also in one of the vehicles is also feared dead.
Two of his sons, the Turakin Kano and the Ciroman Kano were also said to have sustained injuries and have been taken to the hospital for treatment.
The Emir was returning from a Quranic graduation ceremony which took place at Gidan Murtala mosque when the attack occurred. The window opposite where he was seated in the vehicle was also shattered during the attack but there are no indications he suffered any injuries.
The dead and wounded are said to have been taken to the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano.
Nemesis has a way of calling and a plan of action to demand what rightfully belongs to it. Long before now, the Sultan of Sokoto has said that they (the leaders) are the cause of the downfall of the North and its people.
The Emir has been given a clean slate in a country where Traditional Institutions; the custodians of culture have been rubbished due to corruption. It is thus an irony that it was the Emir, now flown to London, that was attacked but a sign that the dog will turn to its master one day when no prey is left.

Instead of killing innocent Christians who have nothing to do with the Northern morass in Nigeria, the people should visit their anger on those leaders and their confederates who sold them and continue to use them to achieve their own obnoxious designs.
