There’s been a major development in Kano, with heavy security operatives, including the police and DSS, barricading the entrance to the palace of the 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II. The reason behind this security presence is still unclear, but sources from the palace have some theories .
Some speculate that it might be an attempt to prevent the Emir from attending a ceremony in Bichi, where he’s supposed to present a staff of office to the newly appointed Wamban Kano and District Head of Bichi, Munir Sanusi. Others believe it could be related to the Emir’s planned meeting with economists to discuss the proposed tax reform bills .
The situation has resulted in restricted movement in and out of the palace, causing confusion in the area. It’s worth noting that there’s been an ongoing dispute over the emirate in Kano, with the state government previously removing Emir Bayero and installing Emir Sanusi II .
