Deposed Emir Bayero Observes Juma’at Prayer In Mini Palace

Deposed Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, observed the Juma’at prayer at Nasarawa palace this Friday.

Bayero has been residing for nearly a week since his deposition and banishment to the place by the Kano State government last week.

Indeed, Bayero was replaced with the 14th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, who was reinstated by Governor Abba Yusuf exactly one week ago.

Bayero had returned to Kano after his deposition two days after, a development which spurred protests in the emirate, but arenow bannedby the state government.

On Friday, however, there were reports that he would be at the Juma’at mosque where Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II was expected to lead prayer, a development that heightened tension in the Emirate on Friday.

But the Kano State Police Command dismissed the report as Bayero opted to observe the two-raka’at prayer in the mosque located within the mini palace in Nasarawa.
