Nine senior palace officials have filed a lawsuit against the 14th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, and 12 others over alleged illegal eviction and demolition of their residences within the palace.
The suit, numbered K/M1607/2025, is before Justice Musa
Ahmad of the Bichi Judicial Division, Kano State.
The applicants—led by Usman Dako, Galadiman Sallama include
other titleholders and palace servants, accusing the Emir and the Kano Emirate
Council of targeting them for their loyalty to deposed Emir Aminu Ado Bayero.
Other respondents include the Inspector General of Police, DSS, NSCDC, and key
palace figures.
The court granted an order directing all parties to maintain
status quo ante and allowed substituted service of court documents via the
Emirate Council Secretariat and courier for Abuja-based respondents.
Speaking in a video circulating online, Dako alleged that
palace officials told him the Emir wanted all Bayero loyalists removed. “i was
away when my wife called to tell me hoodlums are destroying the house, when i
came home the house was in a terrible state ” he said.
He also claimed the house was gifted to his father by the
late emir Bayero. “My father was born in the palace and so was i so see no
reason why we are being pushed out for loving Emir Aminu when his father has
always been good to us” Despite his eviction, Dako reaffirmed his allegiance to
Aminu Ado Bayero.
As at the time of filing this report, neither Emir Sanusi II
nor the Kano Emirate Council has issued a statement regarding the development.
