Justice Liman set aside the new (repealed) Emirate Law 2024, which had led to the dethronement of Aminu Bayero and four other first-class Emirs in the state. The judge criticized Governor Abba Yusuf for disobeying the court order that had restricted him from enforcing the new law.
In a detailed judgment, Justice Liman underscored the necessity for adherence to judicial orders and proper legal processes. By disregarding the court’s directive, Governor Yusuf’s actions were deemed unlawful, prompting the court to nullify the law and all subsequent measures taken under its authority.
This ruling marks a significant development in the ongoing tussle over traditional leadership in Kano State, emphasizing the judiciary’s role in maintaining constitutional governance.
