The Kano State Government has ordered the demolition of a section of the palace of Ado Bayero, the deposed 15th Emir of Kano.
Haruna Dederi, Kano State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, stated that the police have been directed to take over the Emir’s palace located in Nassarawa LGA.
Dederi mentioned that the renovation plans include demolishing the dilapidated walls of the palace.
“Happily, the signing of the law and the reinstatement of His Highness, Emir Muhammad Sanusi II, were done on 23rd May 2024 before the emergence of the interim order, which was served on us on Monday 27th May 2024,” Dederi told journalists on Thursday.
“Following this court’s ruling, the Kano State Government has directed the State Commissioner of Police to remove the deposed emir of the 8 metropolitan local governments from the government property where he is trespassing. The government has already concluded arrangements for the general reconstruction and renovation of the property, including the demolishing and reconstruction of the dilapidated wall fence, with immediate effect.”
