AMILOADED MEDIA HUB NEWS UPDATE
Some operatives of the Department of State Services 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 Thursday morning.
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 suggest that this move could pave the way for the return of the deposed Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido II.
However, the Department of State Service (DSS) on Thursday, denied media reports alleging that it invaded the Emir of Kano’s Palace, saying it is untrue.
The state Director, DSS, Mr Muhammad Alhassan said this when he spoke with newsmen in Kano.
Alhassan said that the DSS only deployed its personnel to the palace as part of security arrangement for the visit of the First Lady, Mrs Oluremi Tinubu, to the Emir.
He said however, that the personnel were withdrawn, following the postponement of the visit due to the absence of the Emir in town.
He said that there was no iota of truth in the report alleging that DSS operatives stormed the Emir’s Palace in connection with the recent development at the State House of Assembly.
He urged Nigerians to disregard the false and malicious report, which he said was aimed at causing unnecessary tension and misinformation.
The State House of Assembly had on Thursday repealed the Kano Emirates Council Law, 2019, thereby dissolving the Emirates of Bichi, Gaya, Karaye and Rano.
