Some Kano residents have destroyed the portrait of the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II.
The incident occurred at the Government House on Sunday after the declaration of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje as winner of the rerun election in parts of the state on Saturday.
In the trending video, two men climbed a ladder to where the portrait was position and tore it.
Hundreds of others, believed to the All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters, were seen cheering them on.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced that Ganduje defeated his main challenger, Abba Kabir-Yusuf of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) with a total of 8,892 votes.
