Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano has expressed his displeasure with the order given by Justice Mohammed Liman to stop the reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi II as the Emir of Kano.
The Governor described it as an abuse of office and promised to report to the Nigeria Governors’ Forum.
“The person that issued the court order was in America but he is ordering us to stop what we are doing. This issue of abuse I must present before the Governor’s Forum so that we can tackle it accordingly,” Yusuf said after issuing the letter of reinstatement to Sanusi II.
“We are agents of following due process, that’s why we did what we did openly before everybody. Those that are meant to maintain that rule of law remains must follow that also.”
News VEO reported that Justice Mohammed Liman of the Federal High Court, Kano, had granted an interim injunction restraining the Inspector General of police, Kano state police commissioner, Nigeria security and civil defense corps NSCDC and the department of state service DSS from enforcing, executing, implementing or operationalizing the Kano state emirate council (repeal) law.
