Usaini Gumel, the Kano State Police Commissioner, has stated that the police will not evict the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, from his Nasarawa Palace.
Gumel explained that the police would not enforce the eviction order due to the ongoing legal dispute surrounding the issue.
He noted that the Kano State government had filed an eviction order with the state High Court.
On Thursday night, the state government directed the Police Command to evict Bayero from his Nasarawa Palace to allow for renovations.
The eviction order was issued by the state’s Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Haruna Dederi.
However, the Commissioner of Police emphasized that complying with the eviction order would preempt the court’s decision.
Addressing the matter on Friday in Kano, Gumel said, “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 is scheduled for 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.
“If we carry out the order, it is like we are preempting the court because we don’t know what will happen at the court.”
