There is palpable tension in Kano on Saturday morning following the order of Governor Abba Yusuf to arrest the dethroned Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero.
Emir Bayero had arrived Kano early Saturday morning and proceeded to the Emir’s palace despite the fact that he has been dethroned.
Meanwhile, the governor, his Deputy, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam and other top government functionaries have taken over the Emir’s Palace in an effort to prevent the deposed Emir’s forceful return.
A statement by his spokesperson, Sunusi Bature, said that in the governor’s position as the State Chief Security Officer, he has ordered the arrest of the deposed Emir for violating the laws and his directives.
It was learnt that the deposed Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero was said to have been brought back to Kano and was at the Nasarawa Emir Rest House adjacent to the Ministry of Works, while Governor Abba and his Deputy stayed foot at the Emir’s Palace after taking the reappointed Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II back to the Palace.
