The event resulting in the purported death of vigilante Surajo Rabiu and injuries to another, Aminu Suleman, took place when they attacked the Emir’s group right after performing the two Rakat Eid prayers at Kofar Mata prayer area.

The wounded vigilante was quickly taken to the Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital in Kano for medical care.
The Kano Police Command spokesperson, SP Abdullahi Haruna, confirmed the incident and stated that the clash erupted when local security personnel were escorting the Emir’s procession back from the place of worship.
