Heavily armed policemen and operatives of the State
Security Service (SSS) have surrounded the Kano Emir’s Palace at Kofar Kudu,
restricting both entry and exit from the premises.
The deployment of security to the palace was a result
of moves by Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II to install his newly appointed Wamban
Kano, District Head of Bichi.
DAILY POST gathered that Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II is
scheduled to accompany the newly appointed Wamban Kano, Munir Sanusi, to his
official district posting in Bichi.
Reliable sources have also confirmed that the Bichi
Emir’s Palace is under tight security, with armed policemen deployed to the
area.
Two weeks ago, the National Chairman of APC, Dr. Umar
Abdullahi Ganduje, while at Bichi, insisted that the Bichi Emirate Council
remains valid and that Emir Nasiru Ado Bayero remains the instituted emir.
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, while acting on the newly
passed Kano Emirate Council Law, invalidated the five emirs, removing them from
their chiefdoms.
However, a few days later, the same government
appointed three second-class emirs, excluding Bichi, which made a district
head’s domain.
