A federal high court in Kano has ordered the removal of Muhammad Sanusi II from the official residence of the Emir of Kano
S.A. Amobeda, the presiding judge granted an ex parte motion filed by Aminu Ado Bayero, the dethroned Emir of Kano and the applicant. The order comes hours after a state high court restrained Bayero from parading himself as the Emir of Kano
In the suit marked FHC/KN/CS/190/2024, seen by our correspondence on Tuesday, Amobeda ordered Kayode Egbetokun, (IGP) and Hussain Gumel, Kano commissioner of police to ensure that all rights and privileges of an Emir are given Ado Bayero.
“An order restraining the 3rd, 4th & 5th respondents and all other respondents from denying the applicant to use his official residence and palace at the Emir’s Palace, Kofar Kudu as well as enjoyment of all rights and privileges accrued to him by virtue of being Emir of Kano State and to evicting anybody residing within the palace illegally pending the hearing and the determination of the originating summons,” the temporary injunction reads.
