Police in Kano have said they will not evict the deposed Emir of Kano Aminu Ado Bayero from the Nasarawa mini palace as directed by Governor Abba Yusuf.
The governor through the attorney general and commissioner of justice Haruna Dederi on Thursday ordered the police to remove the monarch after a Federal High Court nullified all developments that followed the abolishment of the Kano Emirate Law which created five emirates.
In a conversation with PUNCH on Friday, Kano state police commissioner Usaini Gumel said, “The police will not evict the deposed Emir because the same government has filed a case at the State High Court on the eviction order, which would come up on Monday, 24th June 2024.
“The government is jumping the gun because the same government has filed a case on the eviction order, which is coming up on the 24th of June, 2024. So, if we carry out the order, it is like we are pre-empting the court because we don’t know what will happen at the court.”
The police have since increased security around the Nasarawa mini palace.
