Aminu Bayero replaces Muhammadu Sanusi II who was dethroned earlier today for “insubordination'' and “disrespect.”
Until his appointment, Bayero was the Emir of Bichi.
Bichi is one of four rival Emirates created by Kano Governor Abdullahi Ganduje last year as he sought to whittle Sanusi’s powers and influence.

There are reports that Sanusi has been arrested and exiled to Nasarawa.
