A Kano State High Court presided over by Justice Ahmed Tijjani
Badamasi has restrained Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje from
creating four additional emirates in the state.
Justice Badamasi also ordered the governor to desist from
appointing anybody as emir of the new emirates.
The judge also directed that the order be served to the
respondents through publication in Daily Trust newspapers.
This is the second court to issue such order restraining the
governor from creating Gaya, Rano, Bichi and Karaye Emirates.
A High Court in the state, presided over by Justice Nasiru
Saminu, had earlier issued a similar order.
Justice Badamasi issued the order yesterday following the suit
filed by four Kano kingmakers, Sarkin Bai Alhaji Mukhtar Adnan,
Makaman Kano Alhaji Sarki Ibrahim Makama, Madakin Kano Alhaji Yusuf
Nabahani and Sarkin Dawaki Maituta Alhaji Bello Abubakar.
The complainants are challenging the creation of four additional
emirates in the state.
Other parties in the suit are Speaker of Kano State House of
Assembly Kabiru Alhassan Rurum; the assembly; the Attorney-General
of the state, Sarkin Gaya Ibrahim Abdulkadir Gaya; Sarkin Rano
Tafida Abubakar Ila, Sarkin Karaye Ibrahim Abubakar ll and Alhaji
Aminu Ado Bayero.
Justice Badamasi adjourned the case to June 3 for hearing of the
motion on notice.
