The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-corruption Commission has asked the State High Court to strike out a judicial review application filed by Emir of Kano Muhammad Sanusi seeking to quash his indictment in an interim report of the Commission.
Counsel for the Emir, Balarabe Mahmoud SAN asked the court to give parties time to regularise their processes following the refusal of the court to grant the Emir leave to proceed with the judicial review application which ought to be a motion exparte.

Counsel for the Commission, Professor Sylvester Shittu SAN however objected to the request, asking the court to strike out the suit.
Justice Suleiman Baba Namalam adjourned to matter to 30th January, 2020 for continuation of the case.
Meanwhile, the suit filed by Chief of Staff to the Emir, Mannir Sanusi and two others challenging the powers of the Commission to investigate them was stalled. This is because of the pending application to join the Private Secretary and Kano Emirate Council in the case.
