Kano Court Halts Emir Bayero’s Nassarawa Palace Renovations
The Kano State High Court, led by Chief Judge Justice Dije Aboki, has issued an order prohibiting the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, from continuing renovations at the Nassarawa mini palace.
The injunction was granted following an exparte motion filed by the plaintiffs, which include the Kano State government, the Attorney General of Kano State, and the Kano State Emirate Council. The plaintiffs were represented by Rilwanu Umar Esq. and three additional legal counsels.
Justice Aboki’s order mandates all parties to maintain the current state of the palace’s structural and architectural design until the motion on notice is reviewed and resolved.
Earlier reports had indicated that Emir Bayero initiated renovations at the mini palace, presenting a prototype of the planned changes.

This action came after Governor Abba Yusuf’s dethronement of Emir Bayero while he was outside the state, leading to the reinstatement of the 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, who subsequently occupied the Kofar-Kudu palace.
Upon his return, Bayero was moved to the Nassarawa mini palace, where he has continued official activities despite the ongoing legal dispute over the renovations.
