The Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has issued a directive for the immediate arrest of Aminu Ado Bayero, the deposed Emir of Kano.
This announcement came through a statement released by the Director General of Media and Publicity at the Government House in Kano, Sanusi Tofa.
The order for Bayero’s arrest stems from allegations of him instigating unrest in the state.
According to the statement, Governor Yusuf accused Bayero of attempting to destabilize the peace that the state currently enjoys.
The statement read;
“The Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has ordered the immediate arrest of the former Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, for creating tension in the state.
“The former Emir was smuggled into Kano city last night in an attempt to forcefully return to the palace two days after being deposed by the governor.”
