Legal Showdown: Federal and State Courts Issue Conflicting Rulings on Emir of Kano’s Reinstatement

A Kano State High Court has ruled that security services should not evict the reinstated Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi while a Federal High Court ordered his eviction.

PRNigeria reports that the conflicting orders from the jury is becoming worrisome.

The Kano High Court sitting on Miller Road restrained the police, the State Security Service (SSS) and Nigerian military from evicting the reinstated Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.

The case was filed by emir Muhammadu Sanusi II with the four kingmakers of Kano: Madakin Kano Yusuf Nabahani; Makaman Kano Ibrahim Sarki Abdullahi; Sarkin Bai Mansur Adnan and Sarkin Dawaki Maituta Bello Tuta.

The presiding judge, Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu also retrained the security agencies from arresting or harassing the emir and his kingmakers.

The judge held “that an order of interim injunction is hereby granted restraining the Respondents either by themselves, their agents, privies, representative, and assigns from further harassing, intimidating.inviting, arresting and or invading the personal or official residence of the Applicants (Gidan Rumfa), his servants and or any of the Kano Emirate kingmakers of doing such acts that would be capable of interfering with the Applicants’ rights generally in relation to this suit pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.
