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.

INEC chairman Amupitan faces Nigerian protesters in London over 2027 polls

Nigerian protesters have confronted Joash Amupitan, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), outside Chatham House in London, demanding answers over alleged irregularities in the country’s electoral system ahead of the 2027 general elections.   The protesters accosted Amupitan on Thursday as he left the British think tank after participating in a panel discussion titled ‘Nigeria’s 2027 Elections: Democratic Trajectory and Regional Stability Beyond the Ballot’. According to a report by TheCable, the demonstrators surrounded the black vehicle conveying the INEC chairman and demanded that he address their concerns about alleged irregularities in Nigeria’s voter register. Videos circulating on social media showed protesters holding placards, recording the encounter and chanting at the electoral chief. “Why are you running? Come out and talk to us,” some of the protesters shouted. Another demonstrator was heard calling for the police to be contacted, insisting that Amupitan should come out and address their concerns. One of the placards displayed during the confrontation read: “Amupitan, no more election fraud”. However, the INEC chairman remained inside his vehicle and did not give an audible response to the protesters. INEC Under Scrutiny Over Voter Register The confrontation comes amid growing scrutiny of INEC following concerns raised last month over suspected AI-generated photographs appearing in the commission’s preliminary voter register. INEC subsequently said it had traced the photographs to alleged misconduct by some registration officers who had access to its registration portal. The controversy raised further questions about the integrity of the electoral register ahead of the 2027 general elections. Amupitan Addresses Concerns Over 2023 Elections During his Chatham House appearance, Amupitan acknowledged that glitches experienced during the transmission of results in the 2023 general elections had eroded public confidence in the commission. He, however, said INEC had taken steps to ensure the smooth and efficient conduct of the 2027 elections. The protesters’ confrontation highlights continuing concerns over electoral transparency and public confidence in Nigeria’s electoral process as preparations for the 2027 elections gather momentum.
