Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has ordered the immediate arrest of deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, for allegedly creating tension in the state. Bayero was deposed on Thursday and had been missing until his return to Kano on Saturday, where he was met with a crowd of supporters.

According to a statement by the Director General, Media and Publicity, Government House, Kano, Sanusi Tofa, the governor directed the Commissioner of Police to arrest Bayero for disturbing public peace and attempting to destroy the relative peace in the state.

The development comes after Governor Yusuf reinstated Muhammadu Sanusi II as the 16th Emir of Kano on Friday, a move that followed the repeal of the law that had split the emirate into five and appointed Emirs to each.

Bayero’s return to Kano on Saturday was seen as an attempt to forcefully return to the palace, prompting the governor’s order for his arrest. The situation is currently tense in Kano, with security forces on high alert.
