Supporters of Aminu Bayero, the recently deposed Emir of Kano, have taken to the streets of the five emirates – Bichi, Rano, Karaye, Kano, and Gaya – to protest his dethronement.

The demonstrations come after Kano Governor Abba Yusuf signed a new law repealing the Emirate Council Law 2019, which had divided the Kano emirate into five jurisdictions and led to the dethronement of Muhammadu Sanusi in 2020.

Sanusi was reinstated as the 16th Emir of Kano on Friday in a colorful ceremony at the government house and has since taken up residence in the palace.

Meanwhile, Bayero returned to Kano on Saturday and moved into a palace in Nassarawa Local Government Area, only to be ordered arrested by the governor.

A detachment of soldiers is currently keeping watch over the dethroned monarch.

Protesters, carrying banners and placards with various inscriptions, are demanding Bayero’s reinstatement and chanting anti-government slogans.

They allege that the emirship tussle is politically motivated and aimed at undermining the traditional institution.

The protests have added to the tension in the region, with many fearing a further escalation of the situation.

The developments have also sparked concerns about the potential for political instability and the impact on the traditional hierarchies in the state.
