Tension is building up in Kano as a fresh round of protest has broken out in the ancient city amid tussle of who becomes the Emir of the state.
Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II and Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, dethroned Emir of Kano, are locked in a battle for the royal stool.
Around 4pm on Sunday, young persons marched to the streets to demand a return of the dethroned monarch.
Some of them lit bonfire on the major road as they marched chanting anti-government songs.
Daily Trust reports that policemen are on ground but they did not attempt to disperse the protesters.
The protesters trooped out after observing a special prayer session.
Some of them had placards with inscriptions such as: “Abba Kabir Yusuf, Obey Court order”, “Court Brought You”, “You Must Obey The Court”, “Aminu Is Still Our Emir”, “We Are Against Injustice”
