The dethroned Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, has called on the authorities to ensure justice is served in the emirship tussle in the state.
Speaking when he hosted some security agents in Kano on Saturday, Bayero said he would accept the position of the law, noting that no one is above it.
Bayero was dethroned as the Emir on Thursday after the Kano state assembly repealed a 2019 emirate law that was used to remove Muhammadu Sanusi in 2020.
Sanusi was reinstated by Kano governor, Abba Yusuf, while Bayero was in Ogun state on an official visit.
Upon his return, Bayero moved to the Kano emirate mini palace in Nassarawa LGA of the state, where his supporters thronged to welcome him.
The governor also accused Bayero for creating tension in the state and ordered for his arrest.
Bayero called for calm, stressing the need for peace in Kano.
“I call on the people to remain law-abiding while awaiting the outcome of the legal process in this tussle.
“We call on the authority to do justice in this matter. Kano is a very influential state in Nigeria. Whatever affects Kano affects Nigeria.
“May peace reign in Kano. We pray for Allah to bless Kano with responsible and just leaders.
“Justice is the way to go on every issue. There will be justice. Nobody is above the law. We will accept whatever the law says. I appreciate all the people who have shown concern.
“As I said, justice will take its course. We will keep on praying for peace in Kano State. May Allah the Almighty protect us.”
