The Kano State Government has issued a notice of eviction to Aminu Bayero to quit the Nasarawa Palace where he has been staying after his dethronement as emir of Kano. The government said the palace, which it described as a ‘’ cemetery/graveyard with a part serving as a guest house for very important visitors,’’ was unsafe for the dethroned emir to continue to ‘squat’ in.
It added that Bayero had no reason to live in the ‘’defective structure ‘’ because he ‘’forced himself’’ into it. Media and Publicity Director-General to Governor Abba Yusuf, Sanusi Bature, who revealed the quit notice served on the deposed monarch yesterday, added that N99.92 million has been approved by his boss for the demolition, reconstruction, and renovation of the defective wall/fence as well as the surroundings of the palace.
Justifying the quit notice, the media aide said: “His (Aminu’s) father was buried there, his grandfather and his great-grandfather are there. You can find out. So, the Nasawara palace is a cemetery for the late Emirs of Kano, not much of a palace.”
