A Kano State High Court has issued an interim injunction restraining the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, and other dethroned traditional rulers in the emirate to stop parading themselves as emirs.

Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu also ordered the Kano State Commissioner of Police to evacuate Bayero from the Nasarawa palace where he currently stays.

The five emirs, recently dethroned by the state governor, Abba Yusuf, were appointed by former governor of the state, Abdullahi Ganduje, following the dethronement of Lamido Sanusi as the Emir of Kano in March 2020.

The five monarchs are the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, Emir of Bichi, Alhaji Nasiru Ado Bayero; Emir of Karaye; Alhaji Ibrahim Abubakar II; Emir of Gaya, Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim and the Emir of Rano, Alhaji Kabiru Inuwa.

However, upon hearing of exparte application by counsel to the applicants, Barrister Ibrahim Isa Wangida, on Monday, May 27, 2024, Justice Aliyu gave the five emirs a 48-hour ultimatum to vacate their official residences and palaces.

The judge fixed 11th June 2024 for the hearing of the motion on notice
