Governor Yusuf, there is tension as Kano Police responds, ‘We won’t evict Emirati Bayero.’
The state government’s order to expel Aminu Bayero, the deposed 15th Emir of Kano, would not be followed,
according to the Kano police command.
Usain Gumel, the commissioner of police for Kano, stated that the state government is ‘jumping the gun’,
with the eviction order in an interview with Punch on Friday.
Gumel was cited as saying, ‘The same government has filed a case at the state high court on the eviction order,
which would come up on Monday, June 24, 2024. As a result, the police will not evict the deposed Emir.’

The government is acting prematurely as it has already filed a complaint about the eviction order, which is approaching on June 24, 2024.
Because we don’t know what will happen in court, if we follow the order, it will be as though we are preempting the court.
The Kano Federal High Court invalidated all of the state government’s activities on Thursday, May 23,
regarding the revocation of the Kano Emirates Council Law of 2019.
The sitting judge, Muhammad Liman, declared that although the defendants were aware of a previous court-issued temporary order, they disregarded it and went ahead with the implementation of the Kano Emirates Council Law 2024.
However, the judge decided that his ruling had no bearing on the legitimacy of the State House of Assembly emirate law.
The governor of Kano, Abba Yusuf, said on May 23 that Kano’s emir is Muhammadu Sanusi.
The governor also gave the order to remove Bayero from his position as Kano’s emir.
Following the court’s decision, Kano Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice Haruna Dederi stated that the state had accepted the verdict, stressing that it upheld the legitimacy of the emirate law.
According to Dederi, the government has mandated that a portion of the Bayero palace be demolished.
He continued by saying that the police had been ordered to seize control of the Emir’s palace in Nassarawa LGA.
