When the Kano state police spokesperson, Haruna Abdullahi, was asked about the deployment, he said he was not aware of the police operation and would rather not make any comment about it.

“I will find out from my superiors why police Mopol were deployed and communicate to you. As soon as I get details of the operation, I will get back to you," he said.

Daily Trust however stated that the security deployment may be connected with planned presentation of letters of appointment to the four new emirs by the state governor.

Meanwhile, Kano governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has said he was not aware of the court order restraining him from creating additional emirates in the state and giving staff of office to new emirs.

The governor made this know on Saturday, May 11, while proceeding with the move to give letter of appointment to emirs of the newly created emirates at Kofar Mata Indoor Sports Hall

Legit.ng had earlier reported that the Kano state high court, in a judgement on Friday May 10, had granted an order restraining Ganduje from implementing the establishment of four more emirates.

Justice Nasiru Saminu, in a suit filed by one Rabiu Sule Gwarzo, gave an interim injunction directing all parties in the suit to maintain status quo pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.

The Kano governor has, however, defied the court order and unveiled the names of the new emirs for Rano, Bichi, Gaya and Karaye
