Kano emir: Court stops security agencies from evicting Sanusi 

A Kano State high court on Tuesday restrained the police, the Department of State Services and the Nigerian Army from evicting Muhammadu Sanusi II, the reinstated Emir of Kano.

Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu gave the order in a case filed by the emir and four kingmakers of Kano.

The court also stopped the security agencies from arresting or harassing the emir and his kingmakers.

The judge said, “An order of interim injunction is hereby granted restraining the respondents either by themselves, their agents, privies, representative, and assigns from further harassing, intimidating.inviting, arresting and or invading the personal or official residence of the Applicants (Gidan Rumfa).”

Aliyu on Monday ordered the eviction of the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero from the Nasarawa mini palace.

The emir filed the case alongside 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 motion on notice was thereafter adjourned to June 13, 2024 for hearing.
