IGP Directs FID Operatives To Obtain Sanusi’s Statement In Kano
IGP directs FID operatives to obtain Sanusi’s statement in Kano. As NPF Withdraws Invitation Letter.
The Nigeria Police Force has withdrawn its earlier invitation extended to Alhaji Sanusi in connection with the unfortunate incident that occurred in Kano State during the Sallah celebration on March 30, 2025.
The invitation was initially issued to enable Alhaji Sanusi to provide his account of the events that led to the breakdown of law and order in the state.
However, following advice from respected stakeholders and in line with the Inspector-General of Police’s commitment to ensuring that policing actions are not politicized or misinterpreted, the IGP has directed that the invitation be withdrawn. Instead, operatives of the Force Intelligence Department (FID) have been mandated on the instructions of the IGP to proceed to Kano to obtain Alhaji Sanusi’s statement.
Prior to the Sallah Day celebration, credible intelligence at the disposal of the Police indicated that the two (2) disputed Emirs in Kano State -Alh Ado Bayero and Alh Lamido Sanusi were planning to hold separate Durbar Festivals. The Durbar Festival is a long held tradition which involves a recognized Emir riding on horses around the city in company of his people.
To forestall possible violence, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, deployed the Coordinating DIG for the North West who also serves as the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of the Force Criminal Investigation Department, DIG Abubakar Sadiq, mni , to engage in dialogue with the two disputed Emirs in kano and the Kano State Government.
It was mutually agreed that no Durbar Festival would be held to preserve peace and public safety and none of the disputed emirs will ride on horse on Sallah day.
Despite this agreement, Alhaji Sanusi who had attended the Eid Prayers in his car, decided to mount a horse in a procession after Eid Prayers on Sallah Day, accompanied by local vigilantes.

This triggered a confrontation by youths in the community, leading to the tragic death of one Usman Sagiru, and leaving several others injured. A situation which the Force had earlier warned against and intended to avert by the emissaries sent earlier to both Alhaji Sanusi and Alhaji Ado Bayero
The Nigeria Police Force, under the leadership of the Inspector-General of Police, remains resolute in its commitment to conducting its criminal investigation duties with the highest level of professionalism including the investigation of this incident.
All individuals found culpable will at the end be brought to justice. To this effect, some arrests have been made prompting invitation to Alhaji Sanusi.
The Force also wishes to reiterate that its actions are guided solely by the principles of justice, neutrality, and professionalism.
Nigeria Popular Pastor Reveals Why Christians Go To Church With Offerings
Nigeria popular pastor reveals why Christians go to Church with offerings. You don’t go to church with an offering to bribe God. You don’t give so that God will bless you. That mentality is transactional, and it is not the gospel. God is not a merchant, and church is not a marketplace.
In Christ, you are already blessed. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” (Ephesians 1:3). If God has already blessed you with all blessings, what exactly are you trying to buy with money?
Offering is not a tool for manipulation. It is not a seed to twist God’s hand. It is a response to understanding. When light comes, giving follows. You don’t give to get; you give because you have received.
You go to church with an offering because ministry requires resources. The gospel must be preached, and preaching the gospel to reach a greater audience costs money. church facilities, media equipment, missions, outreaches, welfare, administration, all these require finances.
The work of the ministry does not run on wishes; it runs on resources.
Jesus had a treasury (John 12:6). Paul collected offerings to support ministry work and missions
(1 Corinthians 16:1–2, Philippians 4:15–18).
The early church gave to sustain the spread of the gospel (Acts 4:34–35). Giving has always been about supporting the work, not paying God, or bribing God to respond to your case.
When you give, you are partnering with the gospel. You are saying, “I believe in this message, and I want it to go far.” You are investing in lives, in souls, in eternity. That is why Paul said their giving was “fruit that abounds to your account,” not because God needed their money, but because the gospel was advancing through it.
“THIS IS WHY YOU GO
TO CHURCH WITH AN OFFERING”
Why Christians Go To Church With Offerings
Offering is stewardship, You are managing resources God already put in your hands. You are not losing, You are not buying blessings; you are financing the message that blesses lives.
So, you don’t give to be blessed. You give because you are blessed. You don’t give out of fear. You give out of understanding. You don’t give under pressure. You give in partnership.
