A Kano High Court on Friday rejected an application filed by four Kano emirate king makers, seeking the court to restrain the four newly installed emirs of Bichi, Karaye, Rano and Gaya from parading themselves as emirs.
DAILY NIGERIAN reports that the plaintiffs, through their counsel, Suraj Said, a SAN also prayed to the court to stop governor Abdullahi Ganduje of the state from recognising the new emirs and taking further actions on their appointment.
However, in his ruling on the application, the presiding judge, Justice Ahmed Badamasi dismissed the application, arguing that it lacks merit in its entirety.
He then adjourned the matter to June 27 for hearing.
Recall that, following the appointment of the four new emirs recently, the plaintiff filed a motion on notice to the state High Court, asking it to stop the Mr Ganduje and the state House of Assembly from recognising the emirs.
