Although the deposed emir has challenged his removal in court, he has also refused to vacate the Nassarawa royal residence, which he has been occupying since his dethronement.
On July 15, a Kano State High Court issued a perpetual injunction restraining him from parading himself as the Emir of Kano.
The court, presided over by Justice Amina Aliyu, also barred four other deposed monarchs from parading themselves as Emirs of Bichi, Rano, Karaye, and Gaya.
The state high court further issued a Form 48, which is a notice of consequence of disobedience of court order and liability to imprisonment, to Mr Bayero and the Inspector General of Police.
But despite the judgement, Mr Bayero has continued to perform royal duties within and outside the royal residence.
