A High Court sitting in Kano State and presided over by Justice Amina Aliyu has barred the five deposed Emirs of Kano from parading themselves as Emirs.
The order is coming after the deposed Emir of Kano Aminu Bayero refused to stop parading himself as Emir following a controversial Federal High Court order restraining Kano state government from enforcing the new law that dethroned the paramount rulers.
The case was lodged by the Kano State Attorney General, State House of Assembly Speaker as well as the House of Assembly against the five Emirs.
While ruling on the suit on Monday, Justice Aliyu restrained the five emirs from parading themselves as emirs.
“That an order of interim injunction is hereby granted restraining the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th Defendants either by themselves, servants, privies, and or any other persons or officers serving under them or acting in connection with any other person from parading themselves as Emirs of Kano, Bichi, Gaya, Rano and Karaye pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice filed by the Applicants.
