The reinstated Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi, has arrived at the Kano Government House.
Sanusi’s arrival was for the official presentation of his appointment letter and the resumption of his duties as the sole first-class Emir of the state.
Following security advice, a subdued homecoming reception was organized for the Emir upon his late Thursday arrival in Kano.
This development signifies that all preparations are in place for the highly anticipated event, marking the Emir’s first public appearance since his reinstatement.
Sanusi is scheduled to attend a mini-durbar ceremony at the Africa House in Kano Government House at 10 a.m. Subsequently, he will proceed to the Nassarawa Emir’s palace before leading the jumu’at (Friday) prayers at the Kano Central Mosque situated within the palace premises in Kofar Kudu.
Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, on Thursday, reappointed Lamido as the Emir of Kano, four years after he was dethroned by a former governor of the state, Abdullahi Ganduje.
In addition, the governor deposed five emirs appointed by Ganduje and gave them a 48-hour ultimatum to vacate their official residences and palaces.
Yusuf also directed them to hand over all affairs to the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.
However, the Federal High Court in Kano has issued an order stopping the Kano State Government from enforcing the Kano State Emirate Council Repeal Law.
Justice Mohammed Liman granted the order in an application by Alhaji Aminu Babba Dan Agundi, the Sarkin Dawaki Babba of the Kano Emirate.
In the lawsuit concerning the Emir’s seat, the respondents in the fundamental rights case are the Kano State Government, the House of Assembly, the Speaker, the Attorney-General, the Commissioner of Police, the Inspector-General of Police, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, and the State Security Service.
