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.

The Kano State Joint Task Force Committee on Peace Restoration and Youth Rehabilitation has carried out a large-scale operation targeting criminal hideouts across multiple areas in the state, leading to the arrest of 53 suspects involved in thuggery and drug-related activities.

During the raid, law enforcement agents seized a significant quantity of illegal substances, including parcels and wraps of dried leaves suspected to be cannabis sativa, bottles of codeine syrup, rubber solution tubes, a gallon of suck and die, and over 100 suspected exol tablets.
Authorities also recovered five cutlasses, two pairs of scissors, two clubs (gora), and a bulk of suspected charms.
Additionally, a drug distribution hub in Zanzado was dismantled, with a large stockpile of cannabis sativa confiscated. A delivery vehicle and five cattle, believed to belong to a notorious drug dealer, were also seized at the scene.
Comrade Waiya emphasized that all arrested suspects will be charged in court upon the completion of investigations.
He described the successful operation as a major step in the state’s efforts to curb crime and drug abuse.
The Task Force, composed of security agencies and government officials says it remains committed to restoring peace and ensuring a safer environment for Kano residents.
