A High Court, sitting in Kano State, on Thursday, nullified the four newly created Emirate Council, created by Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
In his judgment, Justice Usman Na’abba, said the creation of the Emirates and appointment of four Emirs, is illegal.
Recall, Governor Ganduje appointed four emirs in May, 2019 the development many observers described as attempt to reduce the influence of Muhammad Sanusi 11, Emir of Kano.
The action led some king makers sue to the state government in court.
The four complainants are Madakin Kano, District head of Dawakintofa, Yusuf Nabahani; Makaman Kano, District head of Wudil, Abdullahi Sarki-Ibrahim; Sarkin Dawaki Mai Tuta, District head of Gabasawa, Bello Abubakar and Sarkin Ban Kano, District head of Dambatta, Mukhtar Adnan.
There are indication that the state government may appeal the ruling.
