Emirate Crisis: Kano Government Orders Removal of Bayero from Palace, Plans Demolition


Amid ongoing emirate crises in Kano State, the government has issued an order for the removal of Aminu Ado Bayero from the Gidan Nassarawa Palace.

 

The decision was announced by Haruna Isa Dederi, the State's Attorney General, following the decision of a Federal High Court in Kano to nullify the reappointment of Muhammadu Sanusi II as the 16th Emir of Kano.

 

Despite the decision, the State’s Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Haruna Isa Dederi, alongside the Secretary to the State Government, Baffa Bichi, addressing reporters at the Government House, asserted the government's stance.

 

The Attorney General revealed the government has directed the Commissioner of Police to remove Aminu Ado Bayero, who was appointed after Sanusi's initial removal in March 2020, from the Gidan Nassarawa mini palace.

 

He further stated the government plans to demolish the property for reconstruction. This move comes amidst efforts by the government to address longstanding issues within the emirate and redefine the leadership structure.

 

The Gidan Nassarawa Palace holds considerable historical and cultural significance in Kano, making the government's decision a pivotal moment in the region's governance and heritage.
