A Kano State High Court has issued a restraining order against the police, the State Security Service (SSS), and the Nigerian military, preventing them from evicting the reinstated Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II. Justice Amina Adamu delivered the ruling on Tuesday, May 28, in response to a case filed by the Emir and four kingmakers of Kano: Madakin Kano Yusuf Nabahani; Makaman Kano Ibrahim Sarki Abdullahi; Sarkin Bai Mansur Adnan; and Sarkin Dawaki Maituta Bello Tuta.
Additionally, Justice Aliyu has barred the security agencies from arresting or harassing the Emir and his kingmakers. The judge stated:
“An order of interim injunction is hereby granted restraining the Respondents from further harassing, intimidating, inviting, arresting, or invading the personal or official residence of the Applicants (Gidan Rumfa), his servants, or any of the Kano Emirate kingmakers, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.”
“An order of interim injunction is hereby granted restraining the Respondents from attempting to hijack, pick, commandeer, confiscate any of the symbols of authority of the Emir of Kano, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.”
“An order of interim injunction is hereby made restraining the Respondents from taking further steps in connection with the matter or maintaining status quo of staying all action pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.”
“It is further ordered that the Respondents are restrained from interfering with the functions and duties of the 1st Applicant as the Emir of Kano pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice dated May 28, 2024.”
The motion on notice is adjourned to June 13, 2024, for hearing. This ruling follows the same judge’s order for the eviction of the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, from the Nassarawa mini-palace on Monday, May 27.⬤
