LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, has moved into a mini palace on Nasarawa road in Kano after his return into the ancient city.
This comes after Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf issued an arrest order for the former Kano emir on Saturday, accusing him of creating tension in the state.
Recall that the deposed Emir Bayero returned to Kano in the early hours of Saturday and was welcomed by a crowd of supporters at the Kano Airport.

A retinue of soldiers who have been providing protection for Bayero before he was dethroned, rode with him from the airport to the palace.
Emir Bayero was deposed on Thursday following the dissolution of five Emirate Councils in the state and subsequent restoration of the old Kano Emirate Council to its pre-2019 status and reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi II as Emir of Kano by the State government.
The new emirate law stipulated the sack of all the Emirs in the jurisdictions.
The state governor had given the sacked Emirs 48 hours to vacate their palaces.
According to Daily Trust, the other Emirs, Alhaji Nasir Ado Bayero (Bichi), Alhaji Kabiru Muhammad Inuwa (Rano), Alhaji Ibrahim Abubakar II (Karaye), and Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim Abdulkadir (Gaya), complied with the directive.
