The Kano state police command says law enforcement will obey the court order which ruled against the reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi as Emir.
On May 23, a federal high court in Kano ordered the state
government not to enforce the Emirate Council Repeal Law 2024.
The law repealed the 2019 version which was used to oust
Sanusi.
The amended law passed by the legislature, and assented to
by the governor, restored the old order and invalidates the creation of five
emirates.
Ruling in a suit filed by Aminu Babba Dan Agundi, the Sarkin
Dawaki Babba of the Kano emirate, Mohammed Liman, the judge, asked the
defendants to “suspend” and “not give effect to the Kano State Emirate Council
(Repeal) Law, 2024 as they affect all offices and institutions of the Emirate
Council created pursuant to the provisions of the Kano State Emirate Council
Law, 2019”.
Addressing a press briefing at the headquarters of the
command on Saturday morning, Usain Gumel, commissioner of police in Kano, said
law enforcement will act in line with the ruling.
“Therefore, we are calling on members of the public to know
that the police in the state is working together with the military and other
security agencies to provide 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.”
Sanusi was reinstated as Emir on Friday by Abba Yusuf, the
Kano governor.
In the wee hours of Saturday, Aminu Bayero, the dethroned
Emir, arrived Kano barely hours after Sanusi had sauntered into the palace.
The Kano governor immediately ordered the arrest of the
deposed Emir.
