The Federal High Court in Kano, under the jurisdiction of Justice A. M. Liman, has nullified the reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi II as the 16th Emir of Kano.
In a pivotal ruling, the court declined to invalidate the Kano Emirate Council law but effectively set aside actions taken by the state government in its pursuit of implementing the law.
Justice Liman emphasized the importance of maintaining the status quo in the matter, implying that the legal and administrative circumstances preceding the ruling should persist for the time being.
The ruling marks a significant development in the ongoing dispute over the Emirship in Kano, reflecting the judicial process’s role in resolving complex legal issues within traditional and state governance structures.
