Top security operatives have surrounded the Kofar Kudu Palace, where Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II is currently residing.
This move comes amidst escalating tensions following a series of swift political maneuvers in Kano.
Earlier today, Governor Abba Yusuf reinstated Muhammadu Sanusi II as the Emir of Kano. Sanusi, who was ousted in 2020, returned to the palace in the early hours of the morning. However, this decision has sparked a power struggle, with the deposed Emir, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, making his own return to the ancient city and taking residence in a mini palace.
Governor Yusuf has ordered the arrest of Ado Bayero, further deepening the crisis. Despite this directive, the police have stated that they will not enforce the order, citing legal and procedural concerns.
The unfolding situation has plunged Kano into uncertainty, with the presence of security forces at Kofar Kudu Palace highlighting the high stakes of the conflict.
Residents and observers are on edge, awaiting further developments as the power tussle between the two prominent figures continues to play out.
