A Kano High Court has ordered Aminu Ado Bayero to stop parading himself as the Emir of Kano and asked police to eject him from Nassarawa royal residence.
The court presided, over by Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu, gave the order on Monday.
This comes against an earlier order of a federal high court sitting in Kano which stopped the State government from scrapping the emirates created by ex-governor, Abdullahi Ganduja and reinstating Sanusi Lamido as governor.
Recall that Governor Abba Yusuf had assented to the repeal of the Kano Emirates Council Law amended by the state house of assembly and announced the reinstatement of Mr Sanusi as the new emir.
The new law repealed the 2019 law signed by former governor of the state Abdullahi Ganduje that created five emirates in the state.
He also ordered the deposed emirs to vacate the state within 48 hours
However, while other emirs complied, Aminu Ado Bayero refused citing the court order which annulled his dethronement.
The issue led to protests on Sunday where supporters of Aminu Bayero were seen asking the government to obey the court order.
Meanwhile, Justice Amina ruling on the case filed by the Kano State Attorney General, Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly as well as the House of Assembly against the five emirs on Monday ordered the five emirs should stop parading themselves as emirs.
“That an order of interim injunction is hereby granted restraining the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th Defendants either by themselves, servants, privies, and or any other persons or officers serving under them or acting in connection with any other person from parading themselves as Emirs of Kano, Bichi, Gaya, Rano and Karaye pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice filed by the Applicants.
