The 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has moved out of the palace to hold the first palace court sitting amidst the ongoing dispute over the royal position.
On Saturday afternoon, the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) appeared on a horse with the royal umbrella, which signifies his status as the Emir.
Sanusi, dethroned by former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, was reinstated as the new Kano Emir on Thursday by the state Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, after the Kano Emirates Council Law was repealed by the House of Assembly.
Emir Aminu Ado Bayero, who was dethroned alongside other emirs, arrived in Kano on Saturday and moved to the Nassarawa mini palace with a retinue of supporters and aides.
