A High Court of Kano State presided over by Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu has ordered the police to evict the deposed Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, from the palace he is occupying along the State Road in the Nasarawa area of the state.
The court, which gave the order on Monday, also issued an interim injunction restraining Bayero and four other dethroned emirs from parading themselves as emirs, pending the hearing and determination of a motion on notice filed by applicants.
Justice Aliyu gave the ruling as the state government appealed to President Bola Tinubu to move the deposed 15th Emir of Kano from the state.
The state Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam, during a press conference on Monday, said Bayero’s presence in Kano posed a threat to the peace and stability cherished by its people.
A new law was passed by Kano State House of Assembly which repealed the law that broke Kano into five emirates under the former governor, Abdullahi Ganduje who deposed Muhammadu Sanusi II.
The new law which reverted the kingdoms to the old single Kano emirate also dethroned the five emirs that ruled the five emirates after Ganduje deposed Sanusi II.
The removed Emirs include Aminu Ado Bayero (Kano); Alhaji Nasir Ado Bayero (Bichi), Alhaji Kabiru Muhammad Inuwa (Rano), Alhaji Ibrahim Abubakar II (Karaye), and Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim Abdulkadir (Gaya).
While the other four emirs complied with the directive, the deposed Emir of Kano, who was not in the city, returned and headed for the palace at the Nasarawa area, basing his action on the order of injunction given by Justice Mohammed Liman of the Federal High Court.
