Aminu Bayero, the deposed Emir of Kano, has moved into a palace in Nassarawa LG after his return to the city in the early hours of Saturday.
Abba Yusuf, the Kano governor, ordered Bayero’s arrest after the monarch arrived in Kano to a hero’s welcome from a horde of supporters.
A retinue of soldiers who have been providing protection for Bayero before he was dethroned, rode with him from the airport to the palace.
Bayero was replaced as Emir by Muhammadu Sanusi on Friday.
Sanusi was deposed in 2020 after falling out with Abdullahi Ganduje, then governor of the state.
