The Emir of Rano, Ambassador Muhammad Isa Umaru, has placed a strict ban on church activities inside residential buildings within the Emirate.
The directive follows a wave of petitions from concerned residents, prompting the Emir to set up a special investigative committee.
Rano Emirate is home to 27 certified churches, where Christians worship freely without interference and could now face serious consequence should they worship.
However, unauthorized worship in residential buildings had led to discontent among locals, leading to formal complaints.
Acting on the committee’s report, the Emir swiftly ordered an immediate halt to all church activities in residential buildings to prevent any potential breach of peace.
The Kano chapter chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has not confirmed or denied the development, as the Emir Of Rano bans Church activities.
