Bayero hoists flag at Nassarawa mini palace, as Kano emirate dispute deepens

Traditional and official flags have been raised at the Nassarawa mini palace, where the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, currently resides, amid the ongoing Kano emirate dispute.

As reported by the Daily Trust, the flag is a symbol of authority that, when raised, indicates the presence of an emir.

It is often raised every day by 6am and taken down by 6pm and remains down when the emir is officially outside the palace or travels.

It was observed that the flag was set for hoisting on Wednesday morning when the iron rod was installed but the flag was brought later in the evening and it was raised by 6am on Thursday.

News360 Nigeria reports that as the two embattled emirs, Aminu Ado Bayero and Muhammadu Sanusi II continue to occupy the two palaces laying claim to the Kano Emirate throne, they keep observing and exercising all other traditional and royal rites.
