Armed security operatives Friday barricaded the main Palace of the Kano Emir at Kofar Kudu in the early hours restricting people from going in and coming out of the palace.
The deployment of security to the palace was a result of moves by Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II to install his newly appointed Wamban Kano, District Head of Bichi.
It was gathered that Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II is scheduled to accompany the newly appointed Wamban Kano, Munir Sanusi, to his official district posting in Bichi.
Reliable sources also confirmed that Bichi Emir’s Palace is under tight security, with armed policemen deployed to the area.

Two weeks ago, the National Chairman of APC, Dr. Umar Abdullahi Ganduje, while at Bichi, insisted that the Bichi Emirate Council remains valid and that Emir Nasiru Ado Bayero remains the bona fide emir.
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf while acting on the newly passed Kano Emirate Council Law, invalidated five newly created emirates removing the new emirs from their chiefdoms.
However, a few days later, the same government appointed three second-class emirs, excluding Bichi, which made a district head’s domain.
