A Federal High Court in Kano has set aside all steps taken by the Kano State government to repeal the Kano Emirates Council Law.
It could be recall that, the Kano State House of Assembly had repealed the law after which Governor Abba Kabir implemented it by dethroning Aminu Bayero as Emir of Kano.
RmBut a kingmaker in the former Kano Emirate, Aminu Danagundi, (the Sarkin Dawaki Babba) had challenged the propriety of the law and asked the Court, through his counsel, Chikaosolu Ojukwu (SAN), to declare it null and void.
In his ruling on Thursday, Justice Abdullahi Liman set aside the action of Kano State government, ordering parties to maintain status quo.
Justice Liman however transferred the case to Justice Simon Amobeda for continuation in view of his elevation to the Court of Appeal.
