- The deposed Emir instigated the attack by passing through the area where the incumbent Emir resides instead of using another road that is far from the Emir’s palace.
Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has alleged that a clutch miscreantsant, who he said are supporters of the deposed 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, stormed his palace to cause chaos, panic and destruction.
Sanusi alleged that Bayero’s supporters removed one of his palace gates and violently attacked his guards.
A statement by the Kano Emirate Media Team, signed by Sadam Yakasai, said Aminu’s supporters struck the Kofar-Kudu palace, where Sanusi resides.
According to the statement, the deposed Emir instigated the attack by passing through the area where the incumbent Emir resides instead of using another road that is far from the Emir’s palace.
The statement said: “They broke the gate and attacked the guards, injuring some of them. They smashed the police vehicles in the palace.
“Aminu deliberately passed through the emir’s palace road instead of taking the proper route from Koki to Nassarawa, and his hoodlums decided to attack Gidan Rumfa.
“This is not the first time he has passed through the area. He had done that previously after he visited his Mandawari residence. He did that to intimidate the people of the area.”
