While four of the Emirs complied, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero returned to Kano and moved into the palace at Nassarawa.
Responding to Ado Bayero's move, Governor Yusuf ordered his arrest, but the police refused to implement the order.
They said they would rather comply with a court order which restrained the Kano state government from reinstating Sanusi.
Details of the security chiefs' meeting with Governor Yusuf and Emir Sanusi are yet to be released at the time of filing this report.
