Court declares Sanusi’s banishment from Kano unlawful
A federal high court in Abuja has declared the banishment of Muhammadu Sanusi II, former Emir of Kano, as unlawful and unconstitutional.
Anwuli Chikere, while delivering judgment in the suit today, held that the action was in gross violation of Sanusi’s fundamental human rights.
Consequently, the judge awarded N10 million damages against Kano state, the inspector-general of police (IGP), and the Department of State Services (DSS).
Chikere also ordered the Kano state government to tender an apology to the dethroned Emir.
