Kano has remained tensed for days following the removal of Emir Ado Bayero and the reinstatement of Sanusi Lamido

The palace is located about 300 metres to the Kano Government House where movement of vehicles is restricted to one portion of the road leading to Tarauni.

On Sunday, armed hunters at the main Emir's palace where the reinstated Emir Lamido Sanusi is staying, tried to attack some protesters calling on Kano governor to obey a court order restraing it from removing Mr Ado-Bayero.Some residents and passerby suspected that the gunshots were fired to discourage any attempt to arrest Mr Ado-Bayero after a state High court ordered his eviction from the palace on Monday.

The gunfire has been coming from the direction of the palace," a resident of the area asked PREMIUM TIMES.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later.
