Emirate tussle: Flag hoisted at Nassarawa mini palace

As Kano emirate tussle lingers, traditional and official flag has been hoisted at the Nassarawa mini palace where the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero currently occupies.

Daily Trust reports that the flag stands as a symbol of authority and signifies the presence of an emir once raised.

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.
