A group of lawyers from Northern Nigeria, known as the Northern Lawyers’ Forum, has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf to rescind the reinstatement of Emir Muhammad Sanusi II.
At a press briefing in Abuja on Tuesday, the forum’s Director General, Barr Umar Sadiq Abubakar, argued that Sanusi’s reinstatement is unconstitutional and contrary to the traditions and customs of the Kano Emirate.
Abubakar claimed that Sanusi’s initial removal was in line with the laws and traditions of the Emirate, and his reinstatement would create chaos and undermine the rule of law in the state.
