The Federal High Court in Kano has ruled that dethroned Emir Aminu Ado Bayero has jurisdiction to have his case heard, affirming his right to present his claims in the ongoing legal tussle surrounding the Kano Emirate.
In a significant development, Justice Liman Mohammed of the Federal High Court in Kano State has ruled that the dethroned Emir Aminu Ado Bayero has jurisdiction to have his case heard. The ruling comes in response to a fundamental human rights case filed by the kingmaker, Aminu Baba Dan Agundi, amid the ongoing tussle surrounding the Kano Emirate.
The court's decision affirms that Ado Bayero's case falls within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court, granting him the right to have his claims and arguments heard and adjudicated upon. This ruling holds particular importance in the wake of a recent order by a Kano State High Court, which directed substituted service on Bayero and four other emirs in a separate case filed by the Kano State Government.
While the details of the court's reasoning and the specific legal arguments presented by the parties involved are yet to be fully disclosed, the ruling represents a significant development in the ongoing legal battle surrounding the Kano Emirate's leadership.
