Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has vowed to report what he described as the abuse of court orders to the Nigeria Governors’ Forum after a last-minute plot to use the judiciary to upturn the reinstatement of the 14th Emir of Kano, HRH Muhammadu Sanusi II emerged.

Reacting to the court order that restrained the reinstatement of Sanusi and restrained the dethronement of five Emirs in the state he said that the judge who gave the order was in the United States.

Justice Abdullahi Muhammad Liman of the Federal High Court, Kano, had granted an interim injunction restraining the Inspector General of police, Kano state police commissioner, Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC and the Department of State Services, DSS from enforcing, executing, implementing or operationalizing the Kano state emirate council (repeal) law.

The judge granted the order based on a motion filed by Aminu Babba Danagundi who held the title Sarkin Dawaki Babba.

But speaking shortly after issuing the reinstatement letter to Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II at Africa House, Kano State Government House, on Friday, Governor Yusuf said, “The person that issued the court order was in America but he is ordering us to stop what we are doing. This issue of abuse I must present before the Governor’s Forum so that we can tackle it accordingly.

“We are agents of following due process, that’s why we did what we did openly before everybody. Those that are meant to maintain that rule of law remains must follow that also,” the governor said in response to the alleged plot to use the judiciary to stop the reinstatement of HRH Sanusi II as the emir of Kano.
