Kano Govt withdraws convoy of Emir Aminu Bayero

Kano State government has withdrawn convoy of the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Bayero, a few hours after he was asked to vacate office.

The action was taken over Bayero’s alleged plan to return to his palace on Thursday evening.

Bayero was in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, to see Oba Sikiru Adetona, the Awujale of the Ijebu Kingdom, to prevail on President Bola Tinubu to intervene on the plan to remove him.

Sources said the dethroned monarch was trying to return to the palace to pack out his property and other personal belongings, availing himself of the 48-hour deadline given by Governor Abba Yusuf.

But it was learnt that the state government stopped the emir’s move and asked security operatives to stop him from taking a flight to Kano.

The state government was said to have halted the move to avoid breakdown of the law and order in the state.
