The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi II, has dismissed threats to his life by the deadly Islamist sect, Boko Haram, anchoring his confidence on a divine protection from any evil.
The monarch, who presided over a special prayer session at the Kano City Central Mosque on Friday Dec, 19th, said he remained protected against any evil attack and that nothing, except if it was willed by Allah, would happen to him.

“I am protected and nothing is going to happen to me,” Emir Sanusi said.
“I am appealling to people to be vigilante and protect their mosques, churches, markets and hospitals against any attack and people to report to security operatives any suspicious action and be courageous enough to apprehend anybody with suspicious character or moves,” he had appealed.The Boko Haram's spokesman Abubakar Shekau had, in a recently released 20-minute video, labelled the emir a “fake Muslim” featured on the site of the Hausa service of the BBC at the weekend, said:
“I am talking to you, the emir of Kano, because of your recent utterances. Listen to me, you are only but the King of Kano, King of Central Bank, King of money, you are only Sanusi Lamido. Because you are made the emir of Kano that is why you called on the vigilante groups and hunters to attack us but the hunters and the vigilante groups will fail you. We would kill you and take your people as hostages.”
