Kano High Court stops Bayero, 4 others from parading as Emirs, evicts them from respective palaces
Kano State High Court 17, led by Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu, has perpetually stopped Aminu Ado Bayero and four other dethroned Emirs, servants, privies, and any other persons appointed by them from regarding themselves as Emirs of Bichi, Rano, Gaya, and Karaye.
The judgment was delivered on Monday, July 15.
This is in response to the case put forth by the Kano government asking the High Court to stop the 15th Emir of Aminu Ado Bayero and four other Emirs of Karaye, Bichi, Rano, and Gaya from parading themselves as Emirs.
The Government has also now given the Deposed Emirs 48 hours to vacate their respective Palaces.
The Presiding Judge Justice Aliyu, however, pointed out while delivering the judgment, that the issue of evicting the Deposed Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero from his Nasarawa palace is a Rent Tribunal matter and should not be before her court.
But she did direct the Deposed Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero and four others to quickly hand over all the Emirate Traditional Royal Artifacts to the government and the substantive Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.
Aliyu also said the State Assembly Emirate Council Repealed Law 2024, was done according to the law as enshrined in section 4 of the Nigerian Constitution.
She then ruled that the State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf’s assent to the law is also done perfectly according to the Constitution.
