A Federal High Court in Kano on Thursday nullified the Kano Emirate Council (Amendment No. 2) Law, 2024, that scrapped four of the five emirates councils of the state last month and removed all the five emirs, including Aminu Ado-Bayero of Kano.
Governor Abba Yusuf, on 23 May, signed the bill that repealed the State Emirate Council Law 2019. The Kano State House of Assembly had earlier on the same day passed the bill that also dissolved the four emirates created by former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
Mr Yusuf immediately reinstated Mr Sanusi the following day as the sole emir of Kano State.
But a title holder in Kano emirate, Aminu Dan’agundi, challenged the government’s decision at the Federal High Court.
