The 16th Fulani Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has mounted the palace seat, even as he has begun to receive royal greetings.
This development comes in spite of a joint security agency in Kano State declaring that they would uphold a court order that prohibited the reinstatement of the monarch.
Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II, who came out from the Emir’s inner palace to the outer palace, where traditionally Emirs receive their subjects and conduct court sittings, was cheered by hundreds of his supporters as he majestically rode on a horse.
The state Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, earlier told newsmen that “nobody can change their position on the reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi II because they did it legally.”
He said, “The so-called court order banning them from reinstating Sanusi was not officially submitted to them, and as of the time they did the reinstatement, it was after working hours, which shows that anything coming from the court on that matter is already late.”
THE CONCLAVE reports that some quarters feel that the court order should have been complied with no matter how perverse.
The governnent, they contended should have joined issues with the plaintiff and shoukd have sought to vacate the ex parte order.
