The League Management Company (LMC) have moved Glo Premier League matches scheduled for Saturday, 7 June, in Kano till further notice in tribute to the late Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, who died on Friday aged 83.
The people of the ancient city have sidelined the whole of the weekend as a period of mourning, in honour of the late Emir- the second most important Muslim leader in Northern Nigeria.
