CITIZENS COMPASS –More challenges seem to await Muhammadu Sanusi II as a Federal High Court sitting in Kano, on Thursday, June 20, 2024, nullified his reinstatement as the 16th Emir of the State.
The court also nullified all the actions taken after the controversial reinstatement.
The court was presided over by Justice Abdullahi Liman who said, “I hereby order that every step taken by the government is hereby nullified and becomes null and invalid and that this does not affect the validity of the repealed Emirates Law but actions taken by the governor which include the assenting to the law and the reappointment of Sanusi.
“I have listened to the audio of the governor both in Hausa and English after assenting to the law, and I am convinced that the respondents are aware of the order of maintaining status quo pending the hearing and determination of the motions on notice in the court.
“Having been satisfied that the respondents are aware of the court order, the court, in the exercise of its powers, set aside an action because it violates the court’s order, I think it is a very serious matter for anyone to flout the orders of the court and go scot free with it.”
