Despite an order from the Kano State High Court, the 16th Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II, has mounted the palace seat, receiving royal greetings.

Sanusi II, on Saturday, was seen coming out from the Emir’s inner palace to the outer palace, where traditionally Emirs receive their subjects and conduct court sittings, and was cheered by hundreds of his supporters as he majestically rode a horse.

This comes after the Kano State Police Command on Saturday declared that it will abide by the court order that prohibits the reinstatement of the monarch.

Commissioner of Police in Kano, Mohammed Usain Gumel stated this at a briefing on Saturday.

It would be recalled that Justice Mohammed Liman of the Kano State High Court had granted an ex-parte order halting the implementation of the new law that abolished the four emirates of Bichi, Gaya, Karaye, and Rano.

However, Kano state Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, earlier told newsmen that the court ruling has not been served on the state government.

He said: “nobody can change their position on the reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi II because they did it legally.”

He said, “The so-called court order banning them from reinstating Sanusi was not officially submitted to them, and as at the time they did the reinstatement, it was after working hours, which shows that anything coming from the court on that matter is already late.”
