The Court of Appeal in Kano sets aside the June 20 order by Justice Abubakar Liman of the Federal High Court Kano, nullifying the steps taken by the Kano State Government pursuant to the Kano State Emirate Council, Repeal, Law 2024, including the appointment of Sanusi Lamido Sunusi as the 16th Emir of Kano.
In a judgement on Friday, a three member panel of Court of Appeal, Kano, which sat in Abuja, held that the order nullifying the steps taken by the Kano State Government pursuant to 2024 Emirates Council Law made by Justice Liman without jurisdiction.
The appellate court found that fundamental rights enforcement suit filed by an aggrieved king maker -Alhaji Aminu Babba on which basis Justice Liman issued the June 20 order, was not only invalid; the Federal High Court lacked the jurisdiction to hear it.
