Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, former Emir of Kano, has arrived the ancient city.
The whereabouts of the monarch has been unknown since he was sacked by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, on Thursday.
But in the early hours of Saturday, Ado Bayero returned to Kano to a crowd of supporters.
The aircraft which conveyed the monarch touched down at the Aminu Kano International airport at 4:30am.
He was immediately thronged by his supporters, who were chanting a verse from Surah Al-Fatihah in the Holy Quoran.
“You (alone) we worship, and you (alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).”
While some others were saying, “God the Almighty will kill your enemies.”
The former Emir, who was fully dressed in royal regalia, did not respond to the crowd as he took his steps consciously.
He later observed Subhi (dawn prayer) at the airport.
