Aliyu on Monday ordered the eviction of the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero from the Nasarawa mini palace.

The emir filed the case alongside the four kingmakers of Kano: Madakin Kano Yusuf Nabahani; Makaman Kano Ibrahim Sarki Abdullahi; Sarkin Bai Mansur Adnan and Sarkin Dawaki Maituta Bello Tuta.

The motion on notice was thereafter adjourned to June 13, 2024 for hearing.
