The hearing on the Kano Emirates tussle has begun at the Federal High Court complex sitting at Court Road in Kano, with security personnel heavily present in and around the facility.
According to The PUNCH at the resumed hearing on Thursday, officers of the Nigeria Police Force and operatives of the Department of State Services strategically positioned their vehicles around the court to forestall a breakdown of law and order and to restrict movement.
Cars, vehicles and motorbikes are currently being diverted from Court Road to Zoo Road and the Gyadi-Gyadi area of the town pending the hearing of the case.
Recall that the crisis in the state started two weeks ago when the Kano State governor, Abba Yusuf, deposed Ado Bayero as the Emir of Kano, alongside four other first-class Emirs of Rano, Bichi, Karaye and Gaya.
He reinstated Lamido Sanusi as the Emir following the repeal of the law that former Kano state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, used to depose and exile him in 2020.
More to come…
