BREAKING: Tension as Kano as Court delivers verdict on emirate battle

Published

The Federal High Court in Kano is expected to deliver it’s ruling on the contentious Council Repeal Law 2024 by 2 PM on Thursday.

The ruling was initially set for noon, but later adjusted to 2PM.

The Council Repeal Law 2024 has been a focal point of political and traditional tension in Kano State.

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf utilized the law to dethrone the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero.

Additionally, the law reversed the creation of four emirates—Bichi, Rano, Karaye, and Gaya—established by former Governor Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

The law also facilitated the reappointment of Muhammadu Sanusi II, dethroned by Ganduje in 2020, as the 16th Emir of Kano. This move has been highly controversial and has sparked legal challenges.
