Kano - The Kano state high court has ordered the police, the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigerian Army not to evict the reinstated Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.
Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu of the court gave the order on Tuesday, May 28, while delivering his verdict on the suit filed by Sanusi and four of Kano's kingmakers.

According to the ruling, the security agencies were also restricted from arresting or harassing the Emir and the kingmakers.
The directive is coming barely 24 hours after the same court issued an order restraining the deposed Emir Ado Bayero from claiming to be the Emir of Kano.
Kano court asks Bayero to vacate
Justice Aliyu, on Monday, May 27, ordered the police and other security agencies to remove Ado Bayero from the mini-palace in Nasarawa.
The judge ruled that the order was granted to the plaintiff in the interest of justice and peace of the state.
Bayero had returned to the state on Saturday, May 25, barely 48 hours after he was deposed by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano and moved to the mini-palace in Nasarawa, where he had been parading himself as the Emir.
The deposed Emir's action was influenced by a federal high court order that stopped the Kano state government from implementing the law passed by the state assembly, which abolished the five emirates established by the immediate past administration.
Below is the court judgment:
Atiku speaks on Kano royal tussle
Legit.ng earlier reported that Atiku Abubakar, the former vice president, reacted to the royal tussle between Sanusi and Bayero.
The ex-PDP presidential candidates condemned the deployment of the military in the matter, saying such would upset the peace and security in the state.
He added that President Bola Tinubu's administration needs to be reminded that Kano is known for peace and security, and any attempt to destabilise it would be resisted.
