In a dramatic turn of events, Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has issued an order for the immediate arrest of Aminu Ado Bayero, the recently dethroned Emir.
Governor Yusuf cited Bayero’s actions as the cause of heightened tension within the state. The dethroned Emir returned to Kano early Saturday morning, greeted by a large crowd of supporters who celebrated his arrival with a hero’s welcome.
