Amid the ongoing tussle for the ancient throne of the Kano Emirate, a fresh round of protest has broken out in the city.

Rivals Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II and Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, dethroned Emir of Kano, are locked in a battle for the royal stool.

Scores of youths, on Sunday afternoon, stormed the streets to demand a return of the dethroned Ado Bayero.

Some of the protesters made bonfire on the major road while chanting anti-government songs as they marched on the streets of Kano.

But policemen monitoring the situation did not attempt to disperse the protesters.

The protesters trooped out after observing a special prayer session at 4pm.

They carried placards with inscriptions such as: “Abba Kabir Yusuf, Obey Court order”, “Court Brought You”, “You Must Obey The Court”, “Aminu Is Still Our Emir”, “We Are Against Injustice.”

Earlier on Sunday, some residents of one of the disbanded emirates, Gaya, had protested in the town.
