Kano police pledge to uphold order against Sanusi’s reinstatement as Emir of Kano
The police in Kano State have vowed to uphold the order from the Federal High Court in the state that barred the Kano State government from implementing the repealed law of the Kano Emirates Council and reinstating Sanusi as the Emir of Kano.
It would be recalled that Justice Mohammed Liman of the Federal High Court in the state on Friday, May 24, issued an ex-parte order restraining Governor Abba Yusuf from reinstating Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II.
The order also halted the implementation of the new law that abolished the four emirates of Bichi, Gaya, Karaye, and Rano.
While reinstating Sanusi as Emir on Friday, the governor faulted the order saying the judge issued it from the United States.
Early this morning, Sanusi entered the palace while the deposed Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, arrived the state and settled into a mini-palace.
The governor thereafter ordered the arrest of the deposed monarch, accusing him of attempting to disrupt the peace of the state.
However while addressing a press briefing at the headquarters of the command on Saturday morning, the Commissioner of Police, Usaini Mohammed Gumel, warned trouble makers to steer clear.
“The Police Command is expressly obeying the Court Order with SUIT No. FHC/KN/CS/182/2024 Dated 23rd May, 2024 issued by the Federal High Court sitting in Kano alongside all Law Enforcement agents in the State.
Therefore, we are calling on members of the public to know that the Police in the State are working together with the military and other security agencies and are with full capacity providing the adequate security to everyone as we are committed to carrying out our statutory duties as provided by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
