The Sultan of Sokoto, Saad Abubakar, on Monday, visited Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai.

The governor disclosed this via his verified Twitter handle.

“Malam Nasir El-Rufai has welcomed His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, who is on a private visit to Sir Kashim Ibrahim House,” @GovKaduna wrote.

Though the purpose of the Sultan’s visit was yet to be disclosed, our correspondent learnt that it was not unconnected to the killings in the southern part of the state.

Southern Kaduna has experienced the worst form of carnage in recent times with hundreds of residents murdered by bandits and other enemies of peace.

Monday’s visit comes barely 24 hours after Sunday’s visit by the deposed Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi ll.
