Some operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) were spotted at the palace of the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, on Thursday, amid growing rumours of the Emir’s imminent deposition.
This development follows the passage of the Kano State Emirates Council Amendment Law (Repeal Bill), 2024, by the Kano State House of Assembly on the morning of Thursday, 23 May, 2024.
Newsmen who visited the palace around 11 am saw some DSS operatives stationed in the palace.
The Kano State Emirates Council Amendment Bill was considered on the floor of the House after scaling second and third reading on Thursday morning.
The Assembly dissolved all four newly created emirate councils in the state.
Rumours suggested that this move could pave the way for the return of the deposed Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido II.
