The Katsina Emirate Council (KEC) has announced that the usual Eid-ul-Adha royal exhibition festival has been canceled owing to insecurity.

The council, in a statement signed by assistant secretary Alhaji Sule Mamman Dee, explained that the regular Hawan Daushe, a royal exhibition of garments and regalia that features horse riding, will not accompany the Sallah celebration scheduled for Saturday.

The council noted that the Eid prayers will be lead by the emir in the mosque with prayers that “all perpetrators of evil in the state and in Nigeria be exposed.”
