 The court ruled that the removal of King Sanusi was illegal and Ganduje paid him N10 million


 A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Tuesday ruled that the expulsion of King Sanusi to Nassarawa State following his ouster from the Kano State was unconstitutional.


 Judge Anwuli Chikere, in his ruling on Tuesday, ruled that the 2019 Kano Emirate Establishment Act, used by the state government, was used to oust King Sanusi after he was removed in violation of the 1999 Constitution.  .

 He says the constitution is the future and any law that is not in line with the law is unacceptable.



 The judge added that the former Emir of Kano had the right to reside anywhere in the country including Kano State.

 The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that after the impeachment of the King on March 9, 2020, he filed a complaint with the Chief of National Police, the National DSS Chief on March 12, 2020 challenging them in  on the grounds that he was detained unjustly.


 Antoni-General of the state and the state also sued.


 The judge therefore ordered the 1st, 2nd and 3rd defendants to pay the King N10 million and give him patience through the media.

 Responding to the ruling, Antoni-General of Kano State, Mohammed Lawan said they had heard the verdict and would review it.

 Speaking to newsmen, Lawan said the state government was right to impeach King Sanusi for instigating the culture of the Kano Emirate.
