Kano agog as Sanusi returns, gets appointment letter, lead Jumu’at prayer

Reinstated Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi, has arrived at the Kano Government House to officially receive his appointment letter and resume work as the sole first-class Emir of the state.

The reinstated Emir arrived at Kano late Thursday and a lowkey homecoming reception was organised for him as result of security advice.

All is set for the much anticipated event that will usher the Emir to his first outing in the public since his reinstatement.

He is expected to be at the Africa House in Kano Government House for a mini-durbar ceremony by 10am, from where he would proceed to the Nassarawa Emir’s palace.

The Emir will then proceed to lead the jumu’at (Friday) prayers at the Kano Central mosque located at the palace in Kofar Kudu.

Recall that a Federal High Court sitting in Kano has granted an ex-parte order stopping Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano from reinstating Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II pending the determination of a substantive suit filed against the reinstatement.

The Court also rejected the abolishment of four emirates – Bichi, Gaya, Karaye, and Rano.

The court subsequently directed all parties involved to maintain status quo ante pending the determination of the suit filed by Sarkin Dawaki Babba and Aminu Babba-Dan’Agundi on Thursday.
