Sanusi risks contempt charges if he parades himself as Emir – Kano titleholder

Aminu Baba Dan Agundi, the Sarkin Dawaki Babba of Kano Emirate, has cautioned that Muhammadu Sanusi II risks facing contempt of court charges if he continues to present himself as the Emir of Kano.

Speaking at a press conference at Nasarawa Palace, where Emir Aminu Ado Bayero currently resides, Dan Agundi referred to a ruling by the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which directed all parties to maintain the status quo ante bellum.

He argued that this ruling effectively means Sanusi is no longer the 16th Emir of Kano unless a higher court overturns the decision.

Dan Agundi emphasized that the order must be obeyed, warning that if Sanusi defies it, he has the right to take legal action for contempt.

The Court of Appeal ruling restrained the Kano State Government and other respondents from enforcing an earlier judgment that reinstated Sanusi, pending an appeal before the Supreme Court.

It also mandated that all parties maintain the situation as it was before the Federal High Court’s June 13, 2024, decision.

Additionally, the court required the applicant to file an undertaking within 48 hours, agreeing to compensate the respondents if the order was later deemed unjustified.
