This development follows a Federal High Court ruling by Justice A.M. Liman, who granted an ex-parte order restraining the Kano State Government from reinstating Emir Sanusi II on Thursday night, despite being reportedly out of the country.
The court order was issued in response to a case filed by Sarkin Dawaki Babba, Aminu Babba-Dan’Agundi, a traditional title holder.
The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected in the coming days.
