A Kano State High Court on Monday dismissed the
suit filed by Kano emirate kingmakers challenging the creation of four new
emirates.
At the resumption of the trial on Monday, Justice
Ahmed Tijjani Badamosi ruled that the suit has been overtaken by event as the
law which created the emirates had been quashed with the judgment of Justice
Usman Na’aba on November 21, 2019, and had nullified the creation of the
emirates.
The defendants in the suit are the Kano State
Government, the state governor, the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, the
state House of Assembly and the Attorney General of the state.
Others are the Emir of Bichi, Alhaji Aminu Ado
Bayero; Emir of Karaye, Alhaji Ibrahim Abubakar; Emir of Rano, Alhaji Tafida
Abubakar, and Emir of Gaya, Alhaji Ibrahim Abdulkadir.
It was learnt that the four kingmakers,
Madakin Kano, District Head of Dawakin Tofa, Yusuf Nabahani; Makaman Kano,
District Head of Wudil, Abdullahi Sarki-Ibrahim; Sarkin Dawaki Mai Tuta,
District Head of Gabasawa, Bello Abubakar, and Sarkin Bai Kano, District head
of Dambatta, Mukhtar Adnan, last year instituted the suit against the Kano State
Government's decision to create additional emirates with first-class status.
