Court stops eviction of Emir Sanusi from Palace
A Kano state High Court has stopped the eviction of Emir of Kano, Emir Muhammad Sanusi 11 from the Kofar Kudu Palace, deflating an order from a Federal High Court that gave the directive.
The Kano High Court restrained the police and sister security agencies from carrying out the ruling by a Federal High Court which ordered Sanusi’s eviction.
The State High Court sitting at Miller Road restrained the police, the State Security Service (SSS) and Nigerian military from evicting the reinstated Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.
The case was filed by Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II with the four kingmakers of Kano: Madakin Kano Yusuf Nabahani; Makaman Kano Ibrahim Sarki Abdullahi; Sarkin Bai Mansur Adnan and Sarkin Dawaki Maituta Bello Tuta.
The presiding judge, Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu also retrained the security agencies from arresting or harassing the emir and his kingmakers.
