Emir tussle: Judge transfers Ado Bayero’s suit to Appeal Court’s justice

Justice Liman , in his ruling, said the case has been transferred to Justice Amobeda due to his elevation to the Court of Appeal.

The law was also relied upon to re-appoint the 14th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, who was dethroned by Ganduje in 2020, as the 16th Emir of Kano. Liman described Governor Yusuf’s speech during the presentation of the reappointment letter to Sanusi as a road to anarchy, saying that if a court order cannot be respected despite evidence of service, then the government is heading to the explosive side.

He ordered the restoration of the Kano Emirate Council Law 2019 that split Kano into five emirates: Kano, Bichi, Karaye, Rano and Gaya. Odinkalu, in a series of tweets, slammed Justice Liman’s ruling, accusing him of overstepping supreme court jurisdiction without proper authorization, stating that “Anyone who does this is a rogue, not a judge.”
