The tranquility of Rano town in Kano State was shattered on Sunday, July 7, 2024, as armed hoodlums invaded the palace of the Emir. This shocking event has sparked widespread panic and unrest among the local residents who are grappling with the implications of such brazen lawlessness. The Emir's palace, a symbol of authority and peace, has now become a site of fear and uncertainty, leaving the community in distress.

The invasion has not only disrupted daily life but has also raised serious questions about security in the region. Many residents are alarmed, worried about their safety and the potential for violence. In a desperate bid to restore peace, they have reached out to the state authorities, calling on Police Commissioner Salman Dogo Garba to take immediate action against the invaders.

The situation is further complicated by the belief that these hoodlums may be sponsored by unidentified individuals, which adds a layer of concern regarding the motives behind this invasion. As the community seeks answers, the tension continues to mount, leaving residents feeling vulnerable and unprotected.

“In the evening of Sunday, July 7, 2024, Rano town, the headquarters of our beloved Rano emirate, was invaded by armed hoodlums, believed to be sponsored by a yet-to-be-identified person(s), who camped at the Emir’s palaces (both the Main Place and historic Tsohon Gari Palace).”

The recent tussles within the emirate have only exacerbated the situation, leaving many residents feeling unheard and marginalized. The community's response to this crisis is crucial, as their collective action can determine the outcome of this precarious situation.
