Police Commissioner Disobey Governor’s Order, Deposed Emir Bayero Refuses to Vacate Palace

According to Leadership News, AIG Usaini Gumel, the commissioner of police for Kano State, has publicly disregarded Governor Abba Yusuf’s order to remove Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, the ousted emir of Kano, from the small palace. The police commissioner used a government-filed court case that is set for June 24, 2024, as justification for his decision. He stressed that since the court case’s verdict is still pending, it would be premature to carry out the eviction order.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>

Despite the governor’s directive, Bayero remains in the mini palace, surrounded by his guards and supporters. The police commissioner’s refusal to evict the deposed emir has heightened tensions in Kano State, as the power struggle between the state government and the deposed emir continues to unfold.

The situation has sparked concerns about the escalating crisis in Kano State and its potential implications for the region’s stability.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
