The 15th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, has assured justice would prevail, while urging residents to maintain law and order.
He spoke at the mini-palace where he has been since returning to the State following his dethronement.
The monarch pledged to follow whatever the law states, adding that Kano is too important to Nigeria.
Speaking in his native tongue, he said: “I call on the people to remain law-abiding while awaiting outcome of the legal process in this tussle.
“We call on the authority to do justice in this matter. Kano is a very influential state in Nigeria. Whatever affects Kano affects Nigeria. May peace reign in Kano. We pray for Allah to bless Kano with responsible and just leaders.
“Justice is the way to go on every issue. There will be justice. Nobody is above law. We will accept whatever the law says. I appreciate all the people who have shown concern.
“As I said, justice will take its course. We will keep on praying for peace in Kano State. May Allah the Almighty protect us.”
