Top Security Operatives in Kano are now having a meeting with Governor Abba Yusuf and Emir Muhammadu Sanusi, according to a Daily Trust report.
They earlier met with the deposed Ado Bayero.
This gathering happens during a power struggle for the throne, causing tension in the state.
The NNPP-led House of Assembly canceled the law that former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje used to remove Sanusi from power.
Yusuf approved this law on Thursday and instructed the affected Emirs to leave their palaces within 48 hours.
Four Emirs followed the order, but Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero came back to Kano and settled in the Nassarawa palace.
This upset Yusuf, who instructed his arrest.
However, the police refused, citing the court order that allows the Kano State government to reinstate Sanusi.
Addressing a press briefing at the headquarters of the Kano Police Command, on Saturday morning, Commissioner of Police, Usaini Mohammed Gumel, said, “The Police Command is expressly obeying the Court Order with SUIT No. FHC/KN/CS/182/2024 Dated 23rd May, 2024 issued by the Federal High Court sitting in Kano alongside ail Law Enforcement agents in the State.
“Therefore, we are calling on members of the public to know that the Police in the State is working together with the military and other security agencies and are with full capacity for providing the adequate security to everyone as we are committed to carrying out our statutory duties as provided by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Therefore, as the Police Command is leading other security agencies to sustain the peace and peaceful coexistence for overriding interests, miscreants should stay clear of violence in all its ramifications and should not take advantage or hijack the current situation to launch unprovoked attack on people, property and infrastructure of the State. Any person found with such a tendency will be ruthlessly dealt with according to the law of the land.”
