A Kano State High Court has ruled that security services should not evict the reinstated Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi.
This is coming at a time when a Federal High Court ordered his eviction from Gidan Dabo palace.
The Kano High Court sitting on Miller Road restrained the police, the State Security Service (SSS) and the 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 restrained the security agencies from arresting or harassing the emir and his kingmakers.
The judge held “that 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), his servants and or any of the Kano Emirate kingmakers of doing such acts that would be capable of interfering with the Applicants’ rights generally in relation to this suit pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.”
