In a landmark decision, the Federal High Court in Kano has nullified the reappointment of Muhammadu Sanusi II as the 16th Emir of Kano.
Justice Abdullahi Liman ruled that all actions taken following the passage of the Kano Emirate Council Repeal Law 2024 are invalid.
The court ordered all parties to maintain the status quo ante and granted a stay of proceedings pending a related jurisdictional appeal.
The case has now been transferred to Federal High Court 3 for further action.
