BREAKING: Court nullifies reinstatement of Sanusi as Emir of Kano

Muhammadu Sanusi II’s reinstatement as Kano’s 16th Emir has been declared void by the Federal High Court, which is based in Kano.

In addition, the court, which rendered a decision on Thursday, declared all further activities following the contentious reinstatement to be invalid.

The presiding judge, Justice Abdullahi Muhammad Liman, said, “I hereby order that every step taken by the Government is hereby nullified and becomes null and invalid and that this does not affect the validity of the repealed Emirates Law but actions taken by the Governor, which includes the assenting to the Law and the reappointment (of Sanusi).

“I have listened to the audio of the governor both in Hausa and English after assenting to the Law, and I am convinced that the respondents are aware of the order of maintaining status quo pending the hearing and determination of the motions on notice in the court.

“Having been satisfied that the respondents are aware of the court order, the court in exercise of its powers set aside an action because it is in violation of the court’s order, I think it is a very serious matter for anyone to flout the orders of the court and go scot free with it.”

He claimed that if the respondents had complied with the court order and followed the proper procedures, they could have avoided the disastrous situation and continued to be able to complete their responsibilities.

However, he pointed out that the respondents chose to act on their whims and fancies, which he claimed put them in a terrible predicament.
