THE Katsina State Government has shut down the palace of the Emir of Daura as part of measures to contain the spread of COVID-19.
Governor Aminu Masari, who announced this in Katsina while giving update on the COVID-19 situation in the state, said there was no ulterior motive to the decision to quarantine the palace.
“A palace is a place where people visit all the time. We take this decision to contain the spread of Coronavirus.
“Reports reaching me reveal that people in rural areas don’t obey the order; people gather during marriages, naming ceremonies, burials and other social gatherings.
“I have directed the Emirs of Katsina and Daura to deal decisively with anyone violating the order,” he said.
