According to The Punch, the former Emir’s whereabouts have not been known since Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf deposed him on Thursday, May 23.
Recall that the Kano state house of assembly repealed the law that installed Bayero as Emir of Kano during the administration of former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje on December 5, 2019.
Ganduje signed the law and split the ancient emirate into five with appointed Emirs each.
Following the signing of the repealed Kano Emirates Council Law, the governor ordered the affected emirs to vacate their palaces within 48 hours and hand over to the state’s commissioner of local government and chieftaincy affairs.
Governor Yusuf then announced the reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi II, who was deposed by Ganduje in 2020 as Emir of Kano emirate.
On Friday, May 24, the governor issued a reappointment letter to Sanusi, who also led the Jumat prayer at the government house on the same day.
Earlier on Saturday, May 25, Ado Bayero reportedly returned to the state and was welcomed by a crowd of supporters.
The video of his return by Rufai Oseni, a journalist with AriseTV and a tweet by the legislative aide to Speaker Tajudeen Abbas, Abubakar Aminu Ibrahim, disclosed that the returned Emir will move straight to the palace.
In the early hours of Saturday, Ado Bayero returned to Kano into the waiting hands of a crowd of supporters,
