Emirship Tussles,Kano

A Federal High Court, sitting in Kano, has fixed 20 June 2024 to decide whether the new Kano Emirate Law created by the Government of Abba Kabir Yusuf should stay or not.

Justice Abdullahi Muhammad Liman, fixed Thursday, June 20 to rule on a motion filed by counsel for Aminu Babba Danagundi Sarkin Dawaki Babba, seeking that a declaration of the Kano Emirates Council law, already repealed, be rendered null and void. Danagundi's lawyer Chikaosolu Ojukwu, SAN moved the motion after the court refused an application for stay of proceedings orally moved by counsel for Kano State House of Assembly and its speaker, Eyitayo Fatogun SAN.

He also filed a notice at the Court of Appeal and a motion for a stay of execution, urging the judge to adjourn considering the processes filed pending the hearing and determination of his application at the Appellate court. Counsel for the attorney general of Kano State and the state government A.G Wakil aligned himself with the position of Fatogun. The applicant's counsel countered, saying the authorities cited by the defence were not judicial decisions but rules of court.
