The deposed emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi on Tuesday led the Eid prayer at the Murtala Mohammed prayer ground in Kaduna metropolis.
Sanusi, in his message, urged Nigerians to continue to live in peace irrespective of their religious or ethnic differences.
Those who partook in the prayer include Governor Nasir El-Rufai and Senator Uba Sani (Kaduna Central, APC).
El-Rufai rescued Sanusi in March 2020 when the former emir was taken to Awe, Nasarawa State after being deposed by the Ganduje administration.
Speaking at the prayer ground, El-Rufai announced that more troops have been deployed to Kaduna State to take out bandits and other criminals in a bid to restore peace and security in the state.
The governor, also in a press statement signed by his spokesman Muyiwa Adekeye, urged Muslims to emulate the example of faith and sacrifice that Sallah symbolises.
