A Kano State High Court, presided over by Justice Amina Aliyu, has issued a permanent injunction restraining Aminu Ado-Bayero and four other deposed Emirs from presenting themselves as Emirs
According to The Punch, the court order also applies to their servants, agents, and any other persons appointed by them.
The ruling comes after the Kano State Government filed a lawsuit seeking to stop the deposed Emirs from parading themselves as Emirs.
The government had also directed the deposed Emirs to vacate their palaces within 48 hours.
However, the court noted that the issue of evicting the deposed Emir, Bayero, from his Nassarawa mini palace is a rent tribunal matter and not within its jurisdiction.
The court ordered the deposed Emirs to hand over all Emirate Traditional Royal Artefacts to the government and the substantive Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.
The judgment also validated the Kano State Assembly’s repeal of the Emirate Council Law 2024 and the Governor’s assent to the law, deeming them constitutional.
