As the Kano emirate tussle rages, traditional and official flags have been hoisted at the Nassarawa mini palace currently occupied by the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero.
Once raised, the flag signifies the presence of an emir. It’s also a symbol of authority.
It is often raised daily by 6am and taken down by 6pm and remains down when the emir is officially outside the palace or travels.
The flag was set up early Wednesday morning with an iron rod, but it was brought down later in the evening. On Thursday, it was raised by 6 am.
The two embattled emir’s, Aminu Ado Bayero and Muhammadu Sanusi II are still holding court in their various palaces as they struggle for control of the Kano Emirate throne.
