Police End Siege To Emir’s Palace
The police on Thursday ended their four-day siege to the palatial official residence of the traditional ruler of Kano Emirate.
The police had on Monday deployed armed officers and men in the palace following a series of protests by some youths who kicked against the appointment of a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mallam Lamido Sanusi, as the new Emir of Kano.
Preparations were being put in place to ensure that Sanusi, who had been ruling Kano from the state Government House since Monday, relocated to the palace.
