Zazzau Emirate Council has canceled this year’s traditional eid-el fitr Sallah celebrations following the recent killings of some civil servants who went for verification exercise in Zaria.
Briefing newsmen on the cancellation, the Wazirin Zazzau and a senior Councillor in the emirate, Alhaji Ibrahim Aminu said the decision followed the suicide bomb attack during staff verification exercise at Sabon Gari Local Government Secretariat in Dogarawa which claimed many lives.
Alhaji Aminu said the Emir of Zazzau, Alhaji Shehu Idris, directed the cancellation of the sallah celebrations in order to commiserate with families of the affected victims of the attack.
It would be recalled that a similar decision was taken last year following the bomb attack on General Buhari and Sheikh Dahiru Usman on the same day in Kaduna.
The wazirin Zazzau advised residents to go about their normal business as security in the state were on to of their job.
