Why Ado Bayero is still Emir of Kano
Legit.ng earlier reported that a Kano-based lawyer, U mar Sa'ad Hassan, explained why HRH Aminu Ado Bayero is still the Emir of Kano.
Hassan said the federal high court halted the reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi II as Emir of Kano. He stated this during an exclusive chat with Legit.ng on Thursday, May 30.
The Kano emirate tussle has continued to linger since Sanusi was reinstated and the state assembly abolished the five emirates.
