Sanusi Moves To Emir’s Private Residence At Gidan Rumfa (Photos)

The Emir of Kani, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, who was reappointed as the monarch on Thursday, has moved to his private residence at Gidan Rumfa.

There has been tension in the state following the dethronement of five emirs and reappointment of Sanusi as new Kano Emir.

In what appeared to be a strange development, Sanusi and deposed Emir, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, are operating from different palaces, with supporters and courtiers rallying round them.

Aminu Bayero, who returned to Kano Saturday morning, had earlier briefed newsmen where he called for calm, while awaiting outcome of the legal process on the emirship tussle.

Meanwhile the Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has met with top security Chiefs in Kano over the royal battle.
