The court also directed the police to ensure that all rights and privileges due to the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Bayero, are upheld. This decision follows the deposition of Emir Bayero last week after the passage and assent of the amended Kano Emirate Council bill by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
Presiding over the matter, Justice S. A. Amobeda emphasized that the ex parte order was issued in the interest of justice and the maintenance of peace in Kano. The court’s order includes:
- Interim Injunction: Preventing the respondents, including their agents and representatives, from inviting, arresting, detaining, or harassing the applicant, as well as from raiding, tampering with, or visiting the applicant’s residence with the intent to arrest or infringe on his rights, pending the hearing and determination of the originating motion.
- Rights and Privileges: Restraining the respondents from denying the applicant the use of his official residence and palace at the Emir’s Palace, Kofar Kudu, and ensuring the enjoyment of all rights and privileges associated with the position of Emir of Kano State. This includes evicting any illegal occupants residing within the palace.
The court has adjourned the hearing of the suit to June 4, 2024.
This ruling follows shortly after a state high court, presided over by Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu, granted an order restraining the eviction of Emir Sanusi II, highlighting the complex legal and political struggle over the emirship in Kano.
CISLAC Warning
The Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) has warned that the ongoing tussle over the Kano emirship could lead to anarchy if not addressed. The organization has called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, stressing the importance of maintaining stability and harmony in the region.
Background
The emirship crisis in Kano escalated when the amended Kano Emirate Council bill was passed into law, leading to the deposition of Emir Aminu Bayero. This move reinstated Muhammadu Sanusi II, whose reinstatement has been met with legal challenges and political resistance.
The situation remains fluid, with courts issuing conflicting orders and stakeholders expressing concerns over the potential for unrest. As the legal battles continue, the people of Kano and the broader region watch closely, hoping for a resolution that upholds justice and maintains peace.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reaffirmed its defence of its Chairman, Joash Amupitan, stating that a forensic investigation has established that social media posts attributed to him were fabricated.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a statement issued on Monday by his Chief Press Secretary, Adedayo Oketola, the commission maintained that Amupitan does not own or operate any social media account, despite the circulation of alleged posts linked to him.
According to INEC, both internal checks and independent forensic analysis confirmed that the Chairman has no presence on X (formerly Twitter) or any other social media platform.
The statement explained that the findings of the investigation revealed multiple inconsistencies, including timestamp irregularities, which showed that a viral post attributed to Amupitan was published before the original message it was supposedly responding to—an occurrence described as technically impossible.
INEC also dismissed claims attempting to link the account to the Chairman through email addresses, phone numbers, or financial records, noting that verification processes on the platform failed to establish any connection.
The commission further clarified that the appearance of a phone number in records such as BVN or financial platforms does not serve as proof of ownership of any social media account.
It described the situation as a coordinated disinformation effort, revealing that several fake accounts across different platforms were created using the Chairman’s identity.
INEC added that the account at the centre of the controversy was later renamed, made private, and labelled as a parody account shortly after the issue gained public attention.
The commission stated that the findings have been forwarded to relevant security agencies for further investigation and urged members of the public to avoid sharing or engaging with the disputed content.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, Lawal said the conversation took place shortly before Buhari’s death, during which the former president cautioned him about potential political disagreements that could arise with Tinubu.
According to Lawal, Buhari advised that any such disagreements should be handled with restraint and remain focused on governance and national issues rather than becoming personal.
He explained that the late president stressed the importance of avoiding personal attacks, urging that political differences should be expressed in a respectful manner centered on public interest.
Lawal said he accepted the advice and has since made a conscious effort to ensure that his public comments about Tinubu are limited to political matters without crossing into personal territory.
He added that Buhari had warned him that it was possible to have political clashes with someone considered a friend, but emphasized that such situations should not be allowed to become personal.
Recalling the exchange, Lawal quoted Buhari as advising him to keep any political disagreements strictly professional and not turn them into personal conflicts.
