A federal high court in Kano has ordered the removal of Muhammad Sanusi II from the official residence of the Emir of Kano.
S.A. Amobeda, the presiding judge, granted an ex parte motion filed by Aminu Ado Bayero, the dethroned Emir of Kano, and the applicant.
The order comes hours after a state high court judge, Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu of Kano High Court sitting on Miller Road restrained the police, the State Security Service (SSS) and Nigerian military from evicting the reinstated Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.
The case was filed by the emir alongside the four kingmakers of Kano: Madakin Kano Yusuf Nabahani; Makaman Kano Ibrahim Sarki Abdullahi; Sarkin Bai Mansur Adnan and Sarkin Dawaki Maituta Bello Tuta.
Granting the order, Justice Aliyu also retrained the security agencies from arresting or harassing the emir and his kingmakers.
