Justice Mohammed Liman of the Federal High Court in Kano has set aside the amended Kano Emirate Law enacted by the Kano State House of assembly, and all subsequent actions taken by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf as regards the law.
The Assembly had recently repealed the law enacted under the previous administration of Governor Umar Abdullahi Ganduje, which was implemented by the incumbent Governor Abba and resulted in the dethronement of Aminu Ado Bayero as Emir of Kano.
The law was relied upon to re-appoint the 14th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, who was dethroned by Ganduje in 2020, as the 16th Emir of Kano.
The dethronment was challenged by Aminu Babba Danagundi, the Sarkin Dawaki Babba, in the court by his counsel, Chikaosolu Ojukwu (SAN), which Justice Liman declared null and void.
Delivering his ruling on Thursday, Justice Muhammad Liman set aside the action of the Kano government, ordering parties to maintain the status quo.
