A Kano High Court has ordered Aminu Ado Bayero to refrain from parading from himself as the Emir of Kano.
While issuing the order on Monday, Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu, also directed the police to evict Ado Bayero from his mini palace
Monday’s order is effective until the 11th of June 2024 when the substantive motion will be heard.
This legal tussle followed a Federal High Court ruling on Thursday which restrained the reinstatement of Muhammadu Sunusi (the 2nd) as Emir of Kano and suspended the law establishing the dissolved five emirates in the state.
However, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf contested the ruling, claiming that the judge who issued it was in the US.
Governor Yusuf has vowed to report the matter to the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF)
In defiance of the initial ruling, Sanusi II moved into the emir’s palace on Friday and commenced his duties as the Emir of Kano.
On Saturday morning, Bayero, who was out of town when he was deposed, returned to Kano and was escorted under heavy security to a mini palace on State Road.
