The tension in Kano State has continued to escalate.
This is as several security personnel are currently stationed at the Palace of Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II.
According a report by the Leadership Newspaper on Friday, armed policemen and operatives of the State Security Service (SSS) have reportedly surrounded the Kano Emir’s Palace at Kofar Kudu, restricting both entry and exit from the premises.
The development comes as Emir Sanusi is preparing to attend the installation of Munir Sanusi as the Wamban Kano District Head of Bichi.
However, according to the report, the Emir of Kano is currently unable to attend the event as his palace is under tight security.
This also comes amid the Emirship tussle that has rocked the throne of the Emir of Kano.
It would be recalled that Kano State has been witnessing massive games of thrones after Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf signed some changes in the Kano State Emirate Council Bill into Law 2024.
The newly- signed law dissolved four new Emirates in the State and restored Kano Emirate to its pre-2019 status on Thursday, May 23.
Yusuf also issued a reappointment letter to Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II on Friday, May 24, as the new Emir of Kano, and ordered the Emirs affected by the new law to vacate their palaces within 48 hours.
