A Federal High Court in Kano has set aside all steps taken by Kano state government to repeal the Kano Emirates Council Law.
The Kano House of Assembly had repealed the law after which Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf implemented it by dethroning Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero as Emir of Kano.
The governor also reversed the creation of 4 emirates, Bichi, Rano Karaye & Gaya & sacked the Emirs appointed by his predecessor, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje. The law was also relied upon to re-appoint the 14th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II who was dethroned by Ganduje in 2020 as the 16th Emir of Kano.
But a kingmaker in the former Kano emirate, Aminu Babba Danagundi, the Sarkin Dawaki Babba, challenged the propriety of the law & asked the court, through his counsel, Chikaosolu Ojukwu (SAN), to declare it null & void.
In his ruling on Thursday, Justice Abdullahi Muhammad Liman set aside the action of Kano government, ordering parties to maintain status quo.
