The police have reportedly stormed the emir’s palace in Kano state and displaced the hunters protecting Muhammadu Sanusi, the recently reinstated emir.
According to Premium Times, the hunters who served as local guards left the palace as soon as the police officers took over the security of the building.
This was said to be a move aimed at securing the main palace for the relocation of Aminu Bayero, the deposed 15th Emir of Kano, following a court order that faulted his dethronement.
On Thursday, a federal high court in Kano nullified all actions of the state government repealing the Emirates Council Law of 2019.
In his ruling, Muhammad Liman, the presiding judge, said the defendants were aware of an interim order previously granted by the court but ignored it and implemented the law.
