Court Halts Reinstatement of Sanusi as Emir of Kano
Justice Mohammed Liman granted the injunction following a request by Alhaji Aminu Babba Dan Agundi, the Sarkin Dawaki Babba of the Kano Emirate. The court documents have since circulated widely.
On Thursday, the Kano State House of Assembly dissolved all four newly established emirate councils in the state.
This dissolution resulted from discussions during a plenary session of the House.
Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, reappointed Lamido Sanusi as the Emir of Kano on Thursday, four years after his dethronement by former governor Umar Ganduje. The governor also removed five emirs appointed by Ganduje and gave them a 48-hour deadline to vacate their official residences and palaces.
