Appeal Court Declares Federal High Court Lacked Jurisdiction In Kano Emirate Case
Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has criticized the Federal High Court’s involvement in chieftaincy disputes outside the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), following the Appeal Court’s judgment in favor of Emir Muhammad Sanusi II.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
El-Rufai extended his congratulations to the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi, after the Appeal Court nullified an earlier Federal High Court ruling that had invalidated Sanusi’s appointment amid an emirate dispute in Kano State.
The Federal High Court in Kano, presided over by Justice Abubakar Liman, had on June 20, 2024, issued an order nullifying Sanusi’s appointment under the Kano State Emirate Council (Repeal) Law 2024.
However, a three-member panel of justices at the Court of Appeal in Abuja overturned this decision, declaring the Federal High Court’s ruling a nullity due to its lack of jurisdiction over the Kano Emirate’s legal matters.
Justice Abdul Dogo, delivering one of the judgments, stated that the lower court erred by transforming a chieftaincy dispute into a fundamental rights case brought by Alhaji Aminu Babba Dan Agundi, a kingmaker involved in the legal battle.
The Appeal Court declared the Federal High Court’s June 20 ruling invalid and reaffirmed the legality of actions taken by the Kano State Government under the 2024 law, including the appointment of Sanusi as the 16th Emir of Kano.
Reacting to the ruling, El-Rufai expressed his satisfaction and called for disciplinary action against Justice Liman by the National Judicial Council (NJC).
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), El-Rufai stated:
“KANO UPDATE: Congratulations to my dear friend and brother, His Highness Emir Muhammad Sanusi II, on this judgment. The Federal High Court has no business intervening in chieftaincy matters outside the FCT. The NJC must discipline the judge for delivering such an intentionally erroneous and disgraceful judgment.”
