Kano State Government has disagreed with the recent judgment by the Federal High Court, Kano division that the former emir’s fundamental rights were infringed upon, including allegations of house arrest.
The State’s Attorney General and Commissioner for justice, Haruna Isa, who disagreed with the judgement at a news conference, says the state will appeal the judgement, while expressing concerns over the actions of the State Police Commissioner banning salah festivities in the state
The federal high court three, Kano division on Friday delivered a judgement in favor of the deposed emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, that his fundamental rights were infringed upon.
Kano state government is not comfortable with the judgement and while it puts its papers together for appeal, the attorney general and commissioner for Justice Haruna Isa, sets the record straight on the issue at stake
With the ban on Sallah durbar and other festivities in the state by the commissioner of Police Mohamemd Gumel unilaterally, the state government says the action is one taken against the interest of the people of Kano state.
While the state government stands its ground that some persons are giving orders from behind against the state, the commissioner calls on residents to maintain law and order before, during and after the salah period.
