By Our Reporter
The Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf has ordered the arrest of the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero for his alleged forceful return to Kano after his dethronement.
Reports said that 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 had ordered the arrest of the deposed Emir for violating the laws and his directives.
Already, 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 put at the Emir’s Palace after taking the reappointed Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II back to the Palace.
A video clip circulated on social media, shows Aminu Abdussalam, the State Deputy Governor speaking angrily, saying, “we are ready for them hence they want to bring chaos to Kano by their illegal actions of returning the deposed Emir Aminu Ado Bayero.
“We are here; we are not going anywhere, because we understand that the NSA under the orders of Ganduje has brought back the deposed Emir with heavy security trying to bring him into the palace; we will not allow that to happen.
“The State Assembly deliberated for three days on the Emirate Council Law and Repealed it, and all the 40 members of the Legislative Chamber were there, so I don’t understand what the NSA and Ganduje want.”
According to reports, two private jets were used to bring back the deposed Emir Aminu Ado Bayero into Kano in an attempt to reinstall him.
