Emir of Kano, two sons flown to London for treatment after attack

The Emir of Kano, and his two sons who were wounded during yesterday's attack by unknown gunmen along the popular Zoo Road in Kano metropolis have been transported to a London hospital for medical attention.

A private plane carrying them alongside some aides and relatives departed the Aminu Kano International Airport this afternoon.

      Who says everyone up north is against western education? Stop generalising! Boko Haram does NOT represent the whole north you know right?

    All this flying abroad is rather annoying because lots of poor Nigerians die everyday for lack of proper medical attention. Or do we all have to be Governors or Emirs or First Ladies to deserve it?

      Lolz u see ur life,the grammatical blunders in ur supposed correction,far surpassed even my comment. Owk Whole ShowYinka point of misconception,I used was because the incident happened in the past,I was referring to what brought about them been flown abroad for medical attention.
      Ehen to ur own medicine
      Unfortunate,not unfurtunate.
      Is it that u can't construct a good sentence.
      Incident,not incedent.

      But what part of your brain is still functioning that you cannot understand and appreciate english grammar , people just express their thoughts from a vernacular point of view , just goes to show that it is not only our leaders that are daft as well . I will enjoin you to start an adult education class near your house .

    NYC-1 says: I hope they recover as soon as possible. On the other hand, are Nigerian doctors not good enough to treat certain class of people? I hiss at this style of life the ruling class have come to embrace. They live as if life is meant for them alone to have all the essentialities. If you guys can't fix the minimal things in Niaja to create some sense of independence, then you can as well forget that you have a System.

    What will a poor man do if he finds himself in the same situation as the Emir's sons? I wish his sons well; but you guys who call yourselves the ruling class are causing more harm than good in Nigeria. I know the Emir might be an illitrate(perhaps, from military family) and may not be able to read this,however, let me ask this question: Suppose your sons situation is a race against time and immediate medical attention is needed, do you think that they will make it travelling for 6 hours to London?

    They criticise western innovations and way of life but their traditional and spiritual leaders/rulers buy roll royces and bentleys worth millions of naira...now their being flown to the "west" for "treatment"....it was only a matter of time. We can pray for Nigeria from now till 2mr but it won't change what will eventually happen.

    Why do people lament all the time when someone travels abroad for treatment,is it ur money they travelled with.even regular people travel abroad for health reasons. Is it the emir or his sons that will fix the healthcare system in the country. People should just wish him recovery and stop dwelling on where he is being treated. Kai nigerians have become so insensitive to life.

    @ All most of you don't understd the fight and problems of nigeria.. I don't blame some commentators here cause is subject to their unserstanding and ignorance .... 1st some of u nid to understd that the NORTHERN EMIRS, SULTAN AND KINGS ARE EDUCATED DAN UR FATHERS.. 80% of this KINGS never supported Religious Killings or any form of voilence in anyway..Northern crisis is foiled by some politicians and religious leaders..Most of you don't knw that presently in maidiguri gunshot is refer to as RINGING TONE and BOMB is called FLASHING...Nigeria government is the genesis of all this problem cause all this people took arms when dey feel neglected and also d c the corruptiong in Government.

    I do not think it`s nigerians who are carrying out all these evil attacks as i am sure the northerners would not attack their emir. I pray our government tightens security at the border where these miscreants come in through.
