A Kano High Court, Monday, issued an order for the eviction of deposed Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, from the palace he is currently occupying along the State Road in the Nasarawa area of the state. This is to stop him from parading himself as emir.
The court, presided over by Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu, also gave directives to the four other dethroned emirs preventing them from flaunting themselves as emirs of their respective zones.
Those affected are: Alhaji Nasiru Ado Bayero, Ibrahim Abubakar II, Alhaji Kabiru Muhammad Inuwa and Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim Gaya from parading themselves as emirs of Bichi, Gaya, Rano and Karaye.
The court’s injunction is coming after the plea by the state Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam, to President Tinubu during a press conference on Monday, claiming that Bayero’s presence in Kano posed a threat to the peace and stability cherished by its people
The state House of Assembly had on Thursday repealed the Kano Emirates Council Law which divided Kano into five emirates.
Recall that the 14th emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, was dethroned by Abdullahi Ganduje’s administration, in March 2020.
