Police raid Kano emir’s palace, displace hunters guarding Sanusi

Officers of the police force have taken over the security of the main palace of the Emir of Kano, where local hunters known locally as ‘Yan Tauri’ had guarded the reinstated Lamido Sanusi.

Last month, Mr Ado-Bayero, who the state government removed was guarded by federal security agents at the Nasarawa mini palace.

Premium Times reported that on Sunday evening a team of security agents took over the main emir’s palace, the Gidan Rumfa, where the hunters were playing card games and carrying out other activities.

A security source at the palace said they had sacked the hunters.

“Did you need me to tell you that they (hunters) are no longer here? You can see it yourself; everyone has found his way”, a police officer at the palace said.
