Justice ABDULLAHI LIMAN of the Federal High Court, Kano, has nullified the reinstatement of MUHAMMADU SANUSI II as the Emir of the   Kano Emirate.

Though the judge, refused the application to declare the amended Kano Emirate law null and void, he overturned all the actions taken by Governor ABBA YUSUF after the controversial law was amended by the Kano State House of Assembly on May 23, 2024.

Justice LIMAN faulted the governor’s assent to the bill and the presentation of an appointment letter to Emir SANUSI on May 24, 2024, despite an order of court directing all parties to maintain status quo.

Justice LIMAN said the trouble in the state could have been prevented if the governor and Kano State House of Assembly complied with the court order, which would still have allowed them to carry out their assignments.
