A Federal High Court sitting in Kano, has ordered Kano State Government to pay the sum of N10 million as compensation for breaching the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Bayero’s fundamental human right.

The presiding judge, Justice Simon Amobeda gave the order while delivering the judgment in the case instituted by Aminu Bayero seeking for the enforcement of his fundamental human rights.

Justice Amobeda described the order given by Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf for the arrest of Aminu Bayero as unlawful and that which has forced the applicant into house arrest for fear of been arrested.

The respondents in the suit are the Attorney General of the Federation as 1st respondent, Attorney General of Kano State (2nd), Nigeria Police Force (3rd), IGP (4th), Commissioner of Police in Kano (5th), DSS (6th), NSCDC (7th), Nigerian Army (8th), Nigerian Airforce and Nigerian Navy as 9th and 10th respondents respectively.

The Judge however, restrained the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th from arresting, detaining, threatening, intimidating, harassing the Applicant or further interfering with the Applicant’s fundamental rights.

The judgement reads, “That, the act of the Governor of Kano State in directing the Police to arrest the Applicant without any lawful justification is a threatened breach of the fundamental right to Liberty of the Applicant guaranteed under Section 35(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as altered).

“That, the act of the Governor of Kano State in directing the police to arrest the Applicant without any lawful justification, which directive has forced the Applicant into house arrest, preventing him from going freely about his lawful business, constitutes a flagrant violation of his fundamental right to freedom of movement as guaranteed under Section 41(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as altered).

“That the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Respondents are either by themselves, their agents, servants, privies, or any other person or authority forthwith restrained from arresting, detaining, threatening, intimidating, harassing the Applicant or further interfering with the Applicant’s fundamental rights.

“That the 2nd Respondent and the Government of Kano State shall pay to the Applicant the sum of N10,000,000.00 (Ten Million Naira) only for the breach and likely breach of the Applicants fundamental rights to personal liberty and freedom of movement guaranteed under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as altered).

“The prayer for the cost of filing and prosecuting this suit is refused, the amount having not been specifically pleaded and strictly proved,” Justice Amobeda however ordered.

Hehehe.

Courts in Nigeria have been balkanized.

Every judge dishing out judgement according to the dictate of his paymaster .

What is lawful in state high court,is unlawfully in the eyes of federal courts and their judges.

The supreme court will even go further to confuse us more .

Simple put it,the law in Nigeria is what the paymasters say it is .

Judges "selling",or sorry, dishing out judgement like gala .

...but each day the fundamental human rights of the common man on the street is being denied and abused yet no one acknowledges, no court gives a positive pronouncement.... E Bayero turn dem run am Sharp sharp

...And the drama continue

Aminu Bayero no gree for anybody.

can you tell me the crime of Lamido Sanusi? It’s a shame our traditional institutions we once held in high esteem is being rubbished by the political class.

My submission is this: why should an Amir be seeking the resolution of disputes in a non-Islamic Court?

Sent on exile for what reason?

Did he commit any offence? See, this is not the stone age or African magic kingship tussle. This is 2024.

You've dethroned him. Then let him be.

Some of us sometimes pretend to be ignorant of what is happening in this country . When same law was amended to enable gaduje regime remove a sitting emir without any crime ...many if you said nothing. Sanusi accepted his fate and moved on for peace to reign . A new govt is in place to correct the mistake of gaduje by following due process so as to bring about lasting peace in kano ...now everyone is blaming the govt for cooing the right thing? You re asking what crime did bayero committed ? Well chieftaincy matters are exclusive right of the state House of assembly. The state assembly has amended there laws which enable Sanusi to be reinstated . This is justice . Anyone going against it should be arrested ..isa way of undemanding the authority of the governor who is the person in charge of the state in question .Bayero cannot be bigger than the state . He should accept his fate and move on just like Sanusi did. If everyone devife not to obey state laws will there be democracy ...Those backing bayero is the problem here .

Game of Thrones playing in the North!!!!

Na till supreme court judge dis case...e no concern me

Aminu Bayero, fight for your birth right!

Why do you Christians not go to Christian court to seek redress?
Or don't you have Christian laws that can take care of your differences?
