In a move likely to further inflame tensions in the state, Kano Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has reportedly ordered the arrest of the immediate past Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero.
In a statement issued on Saturday by the Governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, Yusuf accused Ado Bayero of creating tension in the state.
The statement reads, “The former Emir was smuggled into Kano city last night in an attempt to forcefully return to the palace two days after being deposed by the Governor.
