Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has vowed to report the abuse of court orders to the Nigeria Governors’ Forum.
His statement comes in reaction to a court order attempting to halt the reinstatement of Sanusi and the dethronement of five Emirs in the state.
Justice Abdullahi Muhammad Liman of the Federal High Court, Kano, issued an interim injunction restraining the Inspector General of Police, the Kano State Police Commissioner, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and the Department of State Services (DSS) from enforcing, executing, implementing, or operationalizing the Kano State Emirate Council (Repeal) Law.
This order was based on a motion filed by Aminu Babba Danagundi, who holds the title of Sarkin Dawaki Babba.
Speaking after issuing the reinstatement letter to Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II at Africa House, Kano State Government House on Friday, Yusuf expressed his frustration.
“The person that issued the court order was in America but he is ordering us to stop what we are doing. This issue of abuse I must present before the Governor’s Forum so that we can tackle it accordingly,” Daily quoted him as saying.
“We are agents of following due process, that’s why we did what we did openly before everybody. Those that are meant to maintain that rule of law must follow that also,” Yusuf added.
