‘Bayero Acting Under Pressure’ — Deposed Emir’s Family Fears Bloodshed Over Situation In Kano

Kano is in turmoil as two men — the recently reinstated Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi and the deposed Emir Aminu Ado Bayero — are locked in a dangerous struggle over the city’s ancient throne.

The controversy dates back to 2019 when Bayero was appointed emir after Sanusi’s dethronement by former governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
