Court Sets Aside Reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi in Kano

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

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