A new wave of protests has erupted in Kano as Emir throne dispute intensified.
Emir Muhammadu Sanusi and Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, dethroned Emir of Kano, are locked in a battle for he royal stool.
Supporters of Aminu Bayero, the dethroned Emir of Kano, have taken to the streets of the five emirates in protest.
The emirates are Bichi, Rano, Karaye, Kano and Gaya.
Onn Sunday evening, young persons marched to the streets to demand a return of the dethroned monarch.
Holding aloft banners and placards with sundry inscriptions, the protesters say they want Bayero reinstated.
Some of them lit bonfire on the major road as they marched chanting anti-government songs.
The protesters trooped out after observing a special prayer session.
Bayero was deposed on Thursday after Abba Yusuf, the Kano governor, signed a new law that repealed the Emirate Council Law 2019.
The 2019 legislation balkanised the Kano emirate into the five jurisdictions and provided grounds for the dethronement of Sanusi in 2020.
Muhammadu Sanusi II was reinstated as the 16th Emir of Kano on Friday at a colourful event in government house.
Bayero returned to Kano in the early hours of Saturday and moved into a palace in Nassarawa LG. A detachment of soldiers are still keeping watch over the dethroned monarch.
