Kano: Dethroned Emir Bayero chief of staff pays allegiance to Emir Sanusi

Ahmed Ado Bayero, the chief of staff to the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, has dumped the former emir and paid allegiance to Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II.

Mr Bayero, who is also the district head of Kumbotso, paid his allegiance at the Emir’s Palace, Gidan Rumfa on Wednesday.

In a video footage obtained by DAILY NIGERIAN the former chief of staff, who is a younger brother to the deposed monarch, was was seen genuflecting before Mr Sanusi to pay his allegiance.

Recall that Mr Sanusi was appointed the 16th emir of Kano by Governor Abba Yusuf in May, following the repealing of the Kano Emirates Law of 2019, which dissolved all the five emirates created by the then governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.

Although the deposed emir has challenged his removal in court, he has also refused to vacate the Nassarawa royal residence, which he has been occupying since his dethronement.

On July 15, a Kano State High Court issued a perpetual injunction restraining him from parading himself as the Emir of Kano.

The court, presided over by Justice Amina Aliyu, also barred four other deposed monarchs from parading themselves as Emirs of Bichi, Rano, Karaye, and Gaya.

The state high court further issued a Form 48, which is a notice of consequence of disobedience of court order and liability to imprisonment, to Mr Bayero and the Inspector General of Police.

But despite the judgement, Mr Bayero has continued to perform royal duties within and outside the royal residence.
