KANO State Commissioner of Police, AIG Usaini Gumel, has said that his men will not carry out the directive by the state governor to evict the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero from the Nasarawa mini palace where he has taken up residence.
Governor Abba Yusuf had on Thursday night, through the state Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice, Haruna Dederi, directed the CP to remove the deposed 15 Emir of Kano from the Nasarawa mini palace where he is staying.
However, AIG Gumel insists that carrying out the directive would be tantamount to “jumping the gun”.
According to him, the same government that gave the order had filed a case at the state High Court on the eviction order, which would come up on Monday, 24th June 2024.p
“The police will not evict the deposed Emir because the same government has filed a case at the state High Court on the eviction order, which would come up on Monday, 24th June 2024.
“The government is jumping the gun because the same government has filed a case on the eviction order, which is coming up on the 24th of June, 2024. So, if we carry out the order, it is like we are pre-empting the court because we don’t know what will happen at the court,” he added.
Meanwhile, security has been beefed up around the Nasarawa mini palace where the deposed Emir Aminu Ado Bayero is hibernating, this is even as the ambiance has been fortified with additional security personnel.
Also, all four major routes leading to the mini palace had been cordoned off by security personnel.
