Ganduje accused of using NSA to impose Kano deposed emir, police vow to enforce court order

The Kano State Police Command has said it will enforce the court order restraining the state government from dissolving five newly created Emirates in the state.

The state Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Hussain Gumel, disclosed this at the police headquarters in Bompai Kano on Saturday.

This is just at the Kano State Deputy Governor, Aminu Gwarzo, accused former governor of the state, Abdullahi Ganduje, of using the office of the National Security Adviser smuggle the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, into the state.

Gwarzo who spoke on Saturday at the Emir’s palace in Kano, explained that Ganduje, with the support of the office of the NSA, brought in the dethroned Emir in a chartered flight on Saturday.

“It is unfortunate that the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, is using the National Security Adviser to create tension in the state by smuggling into the state, the former emir, Aminu Ado Bayero.

“The appointment and dethronement of Emir or any traditional title holder is solely the prerogative of the state government,” the deputy governor said.

He wondered why the Federal Government would be interfering in whatever happened in the state.

“I am here together with the governor and other top government functionaries to ensure that the new emir, Muhammadu Sanusi II start exercising his power and authority immediately after he was given his appointment letter yesterday, (Friday),’’ he added.

It was gathered that Bayero, in the early hours of Saturday, returned to Kano.

Recall that the Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, had also earlier on Saturday ordered the immediate arrest of the deposed Emir Bayero.

The order was contained in a statement on Saturday by the Director General, Media and Publicity, Government House, Kano, Sanusi Tofa.

The governor said Bayero should be arrested for allegedly creating tension in the state.
