EXCLUSIVE: Emir Sanusi Lamido Attends Jumu’at Prayer in London Without Royal Guards or Security entourage

 

His Majesty The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, garnered quiet attention for his modest and humble demeanor when he attended Jumu’at prayers at the Seven Sisters Masjid in London on Friday. Interestingly, there were no royal guards or obvious security officers present when the Emir arrived.This simple appearance abroad stands in sharp contrast to his public engagements in Nigeria, where heavy security typically surrounds his movements. His presence often attracts significant attention, particularly given the ongoing legal disputes surrounding his reinstatement as Emir of Kano.

In London, his low key attendance at the mosque, where he joined congregants in prayer led by Chief Imam Sheikh Abdul Razaq, reflects the peaceful neutrality of his status abroad. It also reaffirms the Emir’s enduring commitment to his faith and his people, even far from the politics of home.

 

Sanusi, known both for his religious scholarship and his reform minded leadership, continues to be a powerful voice in public discourse. His quiet presence in London serves as a symbolic reminder that leadership, at its core, is about service and humility.
