The Durbar celebration is a centuries-old procession of traditional leaders who ride lavishly decorated horses to greet the emir.
The Daura Emirate in Katsina State has canceled Durbar celebrations for the upcoming Eid-El-Fitr over the lingering security challenges in some parts of the state.
This was announced in a statement dated May 6 and signed by Danejin Daura, Alhaji Abdulmumini Salihu on behalf of the secretary of the council.
The statement further said that special prayers will be offered for sustainable peace in the state immediately after the Eid prayers on Sallah day.
“The focus will be on performing special prayers on the Sallah day as soon as the Eid prayers are performed.
