A Federal High Court in Kano has ordered the eviction of Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II from the Kofar Kudu Palace, while a State High Court has restrained the police and other security agencies from carrying out the eviction order.

You'll love Nigerian courts if you're rich. Just pray to be rich.

Kano with dramas for some years now

Emmmm, who tricked Ado Bayero out of that palace?

One town two kings. One territory two rulers. Kano drama continues.

Gandollar needs to be dealt with. A contest for a traditional stool have became a butt of tragicomical joke in the courts of the land. Gandollar didn't listened to the courts when he was bastardizing the sacred state of the Kano emirship due to political vendetta beclouding his sense of sound judgement.

Who has that meme that they were using the royal "turban" for ping pong? it's needed in this topic.

ZOO , anything goes 💯

War for power!
To what end?

Sanusi was unjustly removed from his throne.

The corrupt political istration in Kano, however, had their plans. They saw in Emir Ado Bayero a figure who would not stand against their corrupt practices.

Emir Ado Bayero could have spoken out against the injustice faced by Emir Sanusi, but his very selection as a replacement was due to his compliance with the corrupt powers that be. They could Balkanize the kingdom of his fathers all they want, so far they give him a title.

Yes, Emir Ado Bayero is a mere puppet, and he is still being manipulated by those who placed him on the throne. I repeat, even now the puppeteers continue to pull his strings. Initially, he was willing to step aside quietly, but the Ganduje corrupt establishment emboldened him to resist, even if it meant plunging Kano into chaos and inciting violence among brothers.

But Justice must be restored, and Emir Sanusi needed to be reinstated.

But the state governor in his quest to correct one injustice, should not commit another.

Instead of deposing Emir Ado Bayero, they could have invited him to abdicate.

In doing so, Ado Bayero would retire as Emir but retain his influence and dignity, not as a subordinate to Emir Sanusi but as an Emeritus Emir, and he would be revered throughout the state and across Nigeria.

He could have welcomed Emir Sanusi back to Kano and become a legend. But Ado Bayero, I repeat, is not in the business of care for the traditional institution of Kano nor its people; his concern is solely with power. And for that, those pulling his string can continue to reign most supreme.

If the strings of Emir Sanusi were so pulled by orchestrators of chaos , hoping to benefit from anarchy. This would have been an opportunity for Mustapha to rape Esther, and for the remaining churches in Kano to be burnt and for some corrupt security officials to make their billions. But of coz, Kano is not Sokoto or Zamfara and the strings of Emir Sanusi is not easily pulled.

But when Sanusi was dethroned we didn’t see all these. As it is anyone can approach the court to challenge bills ed by the legislature & obtain an order restraining the implementation of a bill or any bill that has been signed into law by the executive. Interesting times ahead. Lawyers please lecture us let’s know

Everyone is moving mad in this country...


No honor, no shame, zero integrity

It started with Kwakwanso (when he was APC governor of Kano). The original heir to the throne was not even Emir Lamido Sanusi or Emir Aminu Bayero to begin with. The original heat was Sanusi Bayero, elder brother of Emir Aminu Bayero 👇

The roots of this conflict date back to the reign of the late Emir Ado Bayero, who had designated his eldest son, Sanusi Bayero (Ciroma), as his successor before his ing in 2014. The emirate council had already groomed Sanusi Bayero to take the throne, but something strange happened. Lamido Sanusi, who was recently ousted as CBN Chairman by the Jonathan istration, was unexpectedly appointed Emir of Kano by his friend, Governor Kwankwaso, in a shocking turn of events. This move led to Sanusi Bayero (Ciroma) leaving Kano in exile, fueling a long-standing family feud. He vows never to bow to his nephew, a move that strips him of his caliphate honors

-----------------------------------------------------------
To those confused on how the two Emir's are related.

The deposed Emir Aminu Bayero is an Uncle to Emir Lamido Sanusi even though they are age mates. Emir Lamido Sanusi is a few months older.

- Emir Lamido Sanusi is a nephew to the deposed Emir Aminu Bayero.
- Emir Aminu Bayero's paternal grandfather is Emir Lamido Sanusi's paternal great grandfather.
- Emir Lamido Sanusi is also married to the deposed Emir's younger sister (Princess Sadiya Bayero)

What is happening in Kano doesn't concern me.

a

A federal high court is giving orders on an issue it has no jurisdiction on and some lawyers are saying it should be obeyed but another court who has jurisdiction is giving an order yet the same lawyers are saying it should be disregarded.

What an arant nonsense and political buhaha!!!

Fg gov vs st gov

This match go long

It's a state matter and the federal high court has no jurisdiction. Gandollar rest! It's a law that was repealed by the legislature & asserted to by the governor. Take the matter to state high court first, then federal. Untill that, status quo remains

Comic affair.

A customary court in one village will soon sack everyone in the Palace.

The judiciary is becoming a disgrace

Dollar father nyash

Why can't we just get rid of this counter productive system?
