Emir Sanusi
A fire, suspected to be the result of arson, has severely damaged a section of the Gidan Rumfa Palace in Kano, where the 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, resides.

According to palace sources, the fire broke out around 11 p.m. on Friday night. It affected a part of the palace located at Kofar Kudu, a site where the Emir holds court sessions every Monday.
“It was the palace at Kofar Kudu,” a source explained. “The palace has an entrance from inside and a main entrance from the front. The key was forced open, and it is suspected that the perpetrators broke in, set the fire, and then locked the door. The throne, air conditioners, and other valuables in the palace have been destroyed.”
When contacted, Saminu Yusif Abdullahi, the Public Relations Officer of the Kano State Fire Service, stated that the agency was not aware of the incident, as no report had been made to any of their centers.
