Muhammadu Sanusi II, the Kano Emir who has been reinstalled, must leave Gidan Rumfa Palace, per a Federal High Court order in Kano.
The police were also instructed by the court to guarantee that Aminu Bayero, the 15th Emir of Kano, receives all rights and advantages that are entitled to him.
When delivering the ex parte order on Tuesday, the sitting judge, Justice S. A. Amobeda, said the decision was made to preserve peace and justice in Kano.
The order states, “An order of interim injunction restraining the Respondents either by themselves, their agents, servants, privies, or any other person or authority from inviting, arresting, detaining, threatening, intimidating, or harassing the Applicant, raiding, tampering with;
“…or visiting the Applicant in order to arrest or infringe on his rights or in any other way infringe or attempt to infringe the Applicant’s rights pending the hearing and determination of the Originating Motion.
“An order restraining the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Respondents and all other Respondents from denying the Applicant the use of his official residence and palace at the Emir’s Palace, Kofar Kudu;
“…as well as the enjoyment of all rights and privileges accrued to him by virtue of being Emir of Kano State, and from evicting anything or anybody residing within the palace illegally pending the hearing and determination of the originating summons.”
The hearing in the lawsuit was postponed until June 4, 2024.
This occurred soon after a state high court chaired by Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu granted an order preventing Emir Sanusi II’s removal.
