Bayero moved to Nasarawa palace
Deposed Kano Emir, Bayero, settles in Nassarawa palace
The dethroned Emir of Kano, Aminu Bayero, has been moved into a palace in Nassarawa Local Government Area in Nasarawa.State after he returned to Kano on Saturday.
Governor Abba Yusuf had ordered his arrest after the monarch arrived in Kano to a hero’s welcome from his supporters.
A retinue of soldiers who have been providing protection for Bayero before he was dethroned, rode with him from the airport to the palace.
Muhammadu Sanusi was reinstated as Emir on Friday, to replace Bayero.
Sanusi was deposed in 2020 after falling out with Abdullahi Ganduje, then governor of the state.
However, in reinstating Sanusi, the Kano House of Assembly repealed the 2019 law which was used to oust him and divide the emirate into five jurisdictions.
The new emirate law stipulated the sack of all the Emirs in the jurisdictions and a restoration of the old order — one Emir overseeing all of Kano.
Yusuf had given the sacked Emirs 48 hours to vacate their palaces.
The Emirs of Bichi, Rano, Karaye and Gaya have complied with the directive.
