Kano Govt Set To Evict Bayero, As Security Beef-up At Palace

In response to the Federal High Court’s ruling setting aside the steps taken in repealing the Kano Emirates Council Law, the state government has ordered deposed Emir Aminu Ado Bayero to vacate Nassarawa Mini Palace.

While reacting at a press conference, the Kano State Attorney General (AG), Haruna Isah Dederi, emphasised the need for the renovation of the facility which is solely owned by the state government.

,,,,,,,,Dedire affirmed that the ruling of the Kano High Court validates the actions of the state government, noting that Emir Muhammad Sanusi remains the emir of the prestigious Kano Emirate.

It should be recalled that Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf had on May 25, 2024 ordered the eviction and arrest of Bayero, accusing him of creating tension within the state despite his removal.

While the government is planning the eviction, security agents including soldiers and policemen guarded the mini palace, preventing the arrest of Bayero.

At the time of filing this report, no official statement was made by Emir Ado Bayero.
