Security agents, including police officers, hunters, and vigilantes, are standing guard at the palace of the Emir of Kano.
On Thursday, Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf on Thursday announced the reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi as the Emir of Kano.
Yusuf reinstated Sanusi shortly after he signed the bill abolishing the five emirates created in 2019.
In March 2020, Abdullahi Ganduje, former governor of Kano State, deposed Sanusi as Emir of Kano “for total disrespect to lawful instructions from the office of the governor”.
However, the state legislators passed the amended Kano State Emirate Council (Repeal) Bill 2024 on Thursday.
The new emirate law stipulated the sack of all the emirs in the jurisdictions and a restoration of the old order.
With the announcement, the governor dethroned Aminu Ado Bayero as the Emir, who was away in Ogun State on an official assignment.

The development has created tension in Kano.
When TheCable visited the Emir’s palace on Saturday night, the security details of the governor were seen there.
It was believed that the governor, some commissioners, and other political appointees were with the new Emir at the time of this report.
On his return to the state on Saturday, the deposed Emir moved into another palace in Nassarawa LGA.
