Supporters of Emir Sanusi, including youths and tgevelderly, celebrated the victory with drums, dancing and other festivities.
The judgement delivered by the Appeal Court, Abuja has brought an end to the prolonged legal dispute that threatened the stability of Kano Emirate.
It would be recalled that the dispute began when Governor Abba Yusuf in May 2024 dissolved all the emirates and dethroned the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero while he was away from the state (the palace), this paved way for the reinstatement of the 16th Emir who was immediately moved into Kofar-Kudu palace to ascend the throne.
Upon return to the state, Bayero was forced to occupy the Nassarawa mini palace from where he currently carries out his courts.
