- Bayero was replaced as Emir by Muhammadu Sanusi on Friday.
- Aminu Ado Bayero had earlier returned to the town on Saturday.
A Kano High Court has ordered the deposed Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, to stop parading himself as emir.
The court also directed the police commissioner to evict him from the mini-palace on State Road.
The court, presided over by Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu, gave the order on Monday.
Similarly, the order restrained Alhaji Nasiru Ado Bayero, Ibrahim Abubakar II, Alhaji Kabiru Muhammad Inuwa and Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim Gaya from parading themselves as emirs of Bichi, Gaya, Rano and Karaye.
The order reads: “That an order is hereby granted to the extent that the Commissioner of Police Kano State should immediately take over the palace of the Emir of Kano situate being and lying at State Road Kano and evict the 1 Defendant/Respondent from the said palace pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice dated 24th May, 2024.
“That an order of this Hon. Court is hereby granted restraining the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th Defendants from parading themselves as Emirs of Kano, Bichi, Gaya, Rano and Karaye in the interest of peace in Kano pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.
Embattled Emir Bayero has remained in the Nasarawa mini palace with heavy presence of security personnel, while Emir Sanusi II is operating from the main palace secured by vigilantes and local hunters, a development that has put the commercial city on the edge since Saturday.
