Court orders removal of Emir Sanusi from Kano Palace

There have been legal tussles in the last few days over the legality of who occupies the position of the Emir of Kano between the former Central Bank Governor, Muhammadu Sanusi II, and Dr. Aminu Ado Bayero.

But on Tuesday, May 28, 2024, the Federal High Court Presiding Judge, Justice S. A. Amobeda, while ruling on an ex-parte motion filed by the deposed Bayero, the deposed Emir of Kano ordered the police to evict Sanusi from the palace.

The judge said the exparte order was granted in the interest of justice and maintenance of peace in Kano.
