This development follows just hours after the Federal High Court’s ruling on the substantive suit, which validated the Kano Emirate Council Repeal Law 2024 and also nullified all actions taken by Governor Abba Yusuf after the passage of the law.
The statement reads in part;
Following this Court’s ruling, Kano State
Government has directed the State
Commissioner of Police to remove the deposed emir of the 8 metropolitan local governments
from the Government property where he is
trespassing as Government has already
concluded arrangements for the general

people of Kano State to remain peaceful and
celebrate the success of the people without any
hitch. May Allah SWT continue to protect our
State and our government.
