A Kano State High Court presided over by Justice Amina Aliyu, on Monday, perpetually restrained Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero from parading himself as the Emir of Kano.

The court also barred the deposed Emirs of Bichi, Rano, Gaya and Karaye from parading themselves as emirs.

The judge ruled in a suit filed against the five deposed emirs by the Kano State government.

The suit followed the repeal of the Kano Emirate Law 2019 on May 23, 2024, by the Kano State House of Assembly, abolishing the five emirates created from the old Kano Emirate by ex-Governor Umar Ganduje.

On May 24, 2024, Governor Abba Yusuf signed the Kano Emirate Law 2024 and reinstated the 14th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, as the 16th Emir.

BREAKING: Court orders police to evacuate Bayero from Kano

Not satisfied with the order deposing him as Emir, Bayero approached the Federal High Court, Kano and obtained an ex parte order, restraining the governor and the police from sacking him as the emir, pending the determination of his human rights application.

With the granting of the ex parte, Bayero remained at the Nasarawa mini palace, while Sanusi occupied the Gidan Rumfa palace in Kano.

The order by the governor for the police to eject the deposed emir from the Nasarawa mini palace was not obeyed as the police insisted it was bound to follow the Federal High Court order.

The government then approached the court to restrain Bayero and other deposed emirs from parading themselves as emirs and sought an order asking them to vacate palaces in their respective emirates.

Delivering the judgment on Monday, Justice Aliyu restrained Bayero and four other dethroned emirs from parading themselves as Emirs of Kano, Bichi, Gaya, Rano, Karaye.

She held that the Kano Emirate Council Repeal Law 2024 was carried out by the state House of Assembly according to the law and as enshrined in Section 4 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The judge also ruled that Yusuf assenting to the law was done according to the dictates of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Justice Aliyu, however, said the issue of evicting Bayero from the Nasarawa mini palace was a rent tribunal issue not presented before the court.

She directed Bayero and four other emirs to quickly hand over all the Emirate traditional royal artefacts to the government and the substantive Emir of Kano, Sanusi II.

Federal High Court grants Sowore ₦200m bail with strict conditions in alleged cybercrime case

The Federal High Court in Abuja has granted ₦200 million bail to African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate and publisher, Omoyele Sowore, who is facing alleged cybercrime charges.   In a ruling delivered on Tuesday, Justice Mohammed Umar ordered Sowore to produce two sureties. One must be a traditional ruler from his community, while the other must own landed property in Abuja. The court also directed the prosecution to verify both sureties. As part of the bail conditions, Sowore was ordered to surrender his international passport to the Deputy Chief Registrar of the court pending the conclusion of the trial. The judge released the defendant to his lawyers and adjourned proceedings until Monday, July 6, when the court is expected to begin hearing Sowore’s defence. The ruling comes after the court earlier ordered Sowore’s remand at the Kuje Correctional Centre while considering his application for a stay of the order revoking his bail and the bench warrant issued against him. Justice Umar had also dismissed Sowore’s application seeking his recusal from the case over allegations of bias. The Department of State Services is prosecuting Sowore over allegations that he made false claims about Bola Tinubu by referring to him as “a criminal” in posts published on his X and Facebook accounts. The case will resume on July 6 for the opening of the defence.
