A detachment of operatives of the Department of State Services, have been sighted at the palace of the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, on Thursday.
This has sparked rumours of his imminent deposition.
This is coming after the passage of the Kano State Emirates Council Amendment Law (Repeal Bill), 2024, by the Kano State House of Assembly on Thursday morning.
Journalists who visited the palace around 11 am saw some DSS operatives around 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 suggest that this move could pave the way for the return of the deposed Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido II.
