Sanusi Vs Bayero: Security Agents To Obey Court Order On Kano Emir Tussle
Kano State Commissioner of Police, Usaini Gumel, has denied receiving any directive from Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to arrest the dethroned Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero. Gumel made this statement during a press briefing on Saturday, following a meeting at the Command Headquarters with representatives from the Nigerian Army, Navy, Airforce, and other security agencies……CONTINUE READING....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Governor Yusuf had earlier issued an order for the immediate arrest of the deposed Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero, accusing him of disturbing public peace and attempting to destabilize the state’s relative calm. The directive was announced in a statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.
The statement from the governor’s office read: “The former Emir was smuggled into Kano city last night in an attempt to forcefully return to the palace two days after being deposed by the Governor. As the Chief Security Officer of the state, His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has directed the Commissioner of Police to arrest the deposed Emir with immediate effect for disturbing public peace and attempting to destroy the relative peace the state enjoys.”
However, Commissioner Gumel clarified that no official communication had been received regarding the governor’s instruction to arrest Aminu Ado Bayero. He emphasized that the police, in collaboration with military and other security agencies, are committed to upholding a court order.
The legal context involves a Federal High Court in Kano issuing an order to halt the enforcement of the Kano State Emirate Council Repeal Law, following an application by Alhaji Aminu Babba Dan Agundi, the Sarkin Dawaki Babba of the Kano Emirate. This order came amid the dissolution of four newly created emirate councils—Rano, Karaye, Gaya, and Bichi—by the Kano State House of Assembly, which was part of the repeal of the Kano State Emirs (Appointment and Deposition) Law.
Governor Yusuf recently reappointed Lamido Sanusi as the Emir of Kano, four years after his dethronement by former governor Umar Ganduje. In a sweeping move, the governor also deposed five emirs appointed by Ganduje, giving them a 48-hour ultimatum to vacate their official residences and hand over their duties to the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.
The respondents in the legal case concerning the Emir’s seat include the Kano State Government, the House of Assembly, the Speaker, the Attorney-General, the Commissioner of Police, the Inspector-General of Police, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, and the State Security Service. Justice Mohammed Liman ordered that all parties maintain the status quo pending the hearing of the fundamental rights application, thereby temporarily halting the enforcement of the new law and maintaining the existing state of affairs in the emirate council.

You Couldn’t Stop Obasanjo’ – Okonkwo Tells APC As He Defends Atiku’s 2027 Bid.
The campaign spokesperson for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Kenneth Okonkwo, has expressed confidence that his principal will appear on the ballot in the 2027 presidential election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Okonkwo accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of making efforts to prevent Atiku from contesting the election, insisting that the party’s alleged attempts would ultimately fail.
He drew a comparison with the 2007 presidential election, when former President Olusegun Obasanjo reportedly made efforts to stop Atiku, who was then his vice president, from contesting the presidency.
Naija News reports that the actor-turned-politician maintained that the APC would suffer the same outcome as Obasanjo, who failed to prevent Atiku from participating in the 2007 election.
Okonkwo also predicted that Atiku would emerge as Nigeria’s next president.
In a post shared on X, he said the APC’s alleged attempts to frustrate Atiku’s ambition had strengthened his belief in the ADC candidate’s chances.
He wrote:
“The more the incompetent and corrupt APC tackles ADC, and the more they try to block Atiku Abubakar from contesting for the post of President in 2027, the more I am convinced that Atiku Abubakar is the next President of Nigeria because you do not cast a stone at a tree that is not bearing any fruit.
“APC should learn from history, and understand that Atiku is unstoppable. President Olusegun Obasanjo did everything possible, with all the powers of the security apparatus, to stop Atiku, his Vice President, from contesting the 2007 presidential election, but failed.
“Atiku succeeded through the rule of law by ventilating his agitation through the courts. This time around in 2027, Atiku will win again because God and the people of Nigeria are on his side.
“Let me reiterate, Atiku and ADC will be on the ballot in 2027 and will win the 2027 presidential election for the security and welfare of Nigerians.

‘Even Obasanjo Calls Me An International Agent’ – Orji Kalu Speaks On Alleged CIA Link.
The lawmaker representing Abia North Senatorial District, Orji Uzor Kalu, has denied allegations linking him to the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Kalu made the clarification during an interview on Arise Television, where he was asked about his alleged connections with the CIA and Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad.
The senator explained that his previous involvement in arms trading brought him into contact with both organisations, adding that they monitored his activities because of his business dealings.
He, however, insisted that knowing individuals within the agencies did not mean he worked for them or served as an intelligence operative.
He said, “Even if I know people there, I mean, I’m not working for them. I’m not an agent. Because I was trading in arms, I must know the two organisations very well. They were keeping an eye on me because I was selling arms.”
The former Abia State governor also dismissed suggestions that prominent personalities had described him as an international agent.
According to him, such descriptions do not define his identity, insisting that he knows who he is and makes efforts to maintain his relationships.
Kalu said, “Anybody can say anything. On some occasions, even President Obasanjo himself has called me an international agent. I mean, those things don’t remove anything from my skin because I know myself. I work hard to keep friendships.”
Mossad, officially known as the Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations, is Israel’s national intelligence agency.
