Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf had, on Thursday, dethroned Emir Bayero and four others, scrapped the existence of four other Emirates carved out from the Kano Emirate, and reinstated the 14th Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, as the 16th Emir.

He ordered the five Emirs he dethroned to vacate their Palaces within 48 hours, and on Saturday, raised the ante when he ordered  the Police  to  arrest  Ado Bayero for, allegedly, causing tension in the State.

His order was disregarded by the Police and other Security Agencies who are sticking to the ruling of a Federal High Court, Kano, presided over by the Honourable Justice Liman, who gave an order stopping the installation of Sanusi in a filed exparte motion, pending June 3 when the suit will be heard.

But speaking from one of the Palces where he is, after he returned to Kano Friday night, he appealed to the people to uphold the law and patiently await the resolution of this dispute through the legal process.
