Emirship Crisis: Kano Govt Must Obey Court of Appeal Order — Dan’Agundi  

Aminu Danagundi, a key figure in the ongoing Kano emirate dispute, has called for strict adherence to Friday’s ruling by the Court of Appeal, which ordered the maintenance of the status quo pending the Supreme Court’s decision.  

Speaking at the Nasarawa Palace in Kano on Saturday, Mr. Danagundi emphasized the need to respect the court’s directive, urging all parties, including security agencies, to uphold the ruling.

“The Court of Appeal’s directive was clear: maintain the status quo ante, meaning the situation should revert to what it was before the matter was taken to court,” he said.

He added that individuals recently appointed under the repealed Kano Emirate Council Law should vacate their positions in compliance with the ruling.

The Court of Appeal had issued an injunction preventing the enforcement of a lower court’s judgment until the Supreme Court rules on the applicant’s appeal.

The respondents in the case include the Kano State House of Assembly and other government agencies.

The court also directed the applicant to file an undertaking within 48 hours to compensate the respondents for any damages if the order is later deemed erroneous.
