Kano State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Bakori, has visited the 15th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, at his Nasarawa Palace in Kano.
The visit comes amid the lingering crisis surrounding the Kano Emirate, with discussions reportedly focused on maintaining peace and security across the state.
The Daily Reality recalls that the emirship tussle began in May 2024 after the Kano State Government repealed the law establishing five emirates in the state and reinstated Muhammadu Sanusi II as the 16th Emir of Kano.
The development effectively removed Aminu Ado Bayero, who was installed as the 15th Emir in 2020 following the dethronement of Sanusi by the administration of former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
Bayero, however, rejected his removal and continued to occupy the Nasarawa Palace, while Sanusi returned to the main Emir’s Palace, deepening the legal and political dispute over the Kano throne.
The crisis has since generated prolonged legal proceedings and heightened concerns over peace and security in the state.
Against this backdrop, Bakori’s visit to Bayero is seen as part of efforts to engage key stakeholders and promote peace and stability amid the unresolved emirate dispute.
