Security and military personnel are reportedly still securing the mini-palace in the Nasarawa area of Kano State, where the deposed 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, is occupying, despite a court order for his eviction.
According to Channels TV, stern-looking armed soldiers and policemen were seen around the mini-palace.
It had earlier been reported that a Kano State High Court presided over by Justice Amina Aliyu ordered the police to evict the deposed Emir from the palace.
The court, which gave the order on Monday, also issued an interim injunction restraining Bayero and four other dethroned emirs from parading themselves as emirs, pending the hearing and determination of a motion on notice filed by applicants.
The state Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam, also said that Bayero’s presence in Kano posed a threat to the peace and stability cherished by its people.
