On the other hand, the State’s High Court, under the jurisdiction of Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu, issued an injunction to protect Muhammadu Sunusi and other key figures from potential harassment by state authorities.
Meanwhile, these conflicting orders have led to significant confusion regarding the rightful authority and protection of the emirs in Kano.
The State High Court’s case is set for further hearing on June 13, while the Federal High Court has adjourned its case to June 4.
Angry protesters stormed some parts of Kano city over the state government’s reinstatement of Sanusi II as the Emir of the state.
The aggrieved agitators were spotted in Gaya and Nasarawa communities, on Sunday, kicking against the return of Sanusi.
