Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu of the Kano High Court on Miller Road has issued an interim injunction barring the police, State Security Service (SSS), and Nigerian military from evicting Muhammadu Sanusi II, the reinstated Emir of Kano.
The ruling came in response to a case filed by the Emir and his four kingmakers: Madakin Kano Yusuf Nabahani, Makaman Kano Ibrahim Sarki Abdullahi, Sarkin Bai Mansur Adnan, and Sarkin Dawaki Maituta Bello Tuta.
The injunction prevents the respondents, their agents, and representatives from harassing, intimidating, arresting, or invading the Emir’s personal or official residence, Gidan Rumfa.
It also prohibits attempts to confiscate symbols of the Emir’s authority, ensuring no interference with his functions and duties until a motion on notice is heard on June 13, 2024.
This decision upholds the status quo and safeguards the rights of the Emir and his kingmakers.
