A Federal High Court sitting in Kano has set June 13th for a ruling on the jurisdiction of a fundamental human rights suit, concerning the Kano Emirate tussle.
Justice Abdullahi Liman announced the date on Thursday after hearing arguments from both the applicant and respondents, on whether the Court has the authority to entertain the suit.
The case was filed by a traditional title holder, (Sarkin Dawaki Babba) of the Emirate, Aminu Dan’Agundi, who is asking the Court to restrain the respondents from enforcing, implementing, and operationalizing the repealed Kano Emirates law.
The respondents in the suit are; the Kano State Government, Kano State House of Assembly, Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Attorney General of Kano State, Kano State Commissioner of Police, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and the Department of State Services (DSS).
