Kano State Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General, Barrister Haruna Isa Dederi, has clarified that the recent Court of Appeal ruling in Abuja does not overturn the reinstatement of Muhammadu Sanusi II as the 16th Emir of Kano.



Speaking to journalists, Dederi reaffirmed that the landmark verdict delivered on January 10, 2025, remains intact, as the Court of Appeal cannot quash its own ruling. He emphasized that only the Supreme Court has the authority to set aside the decision.

The reaction follows the Appeal Court’s ruling on a stay of execution motion filed by Alh. Aminu Baba Dan Agundi, a key supporter of Aminu Ado Bayero, the 15th Emir of Kano.

Court Ruling: Status Quo to Be Maintained

Dederi explained that the Court of Appeal ruled in favor of maintaining the current status quo until the Supreme Court delivers its final judgment.

“The judgment delivered on January 10, 2025, remains valid and effective. The Court of Appeal cannot reverse its own ruling—only the Supreme Court has the authority to do so.” — Dederi

On January 10, 2025, a three-member panel of the Court of Appeal, led by Justice Mohammad Mustapha, had overturned the ruling of Justice A. Liman of the Federal High Court, Kano, which had previously nullified actions taken under the Kano State Emirate Council (Repeal) Law 2024—including the reappointment of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as Emir.

Unhappy with the ruling, Dan Agundi has since taken the case to the Supreme Court, seeking to overturn the Appeal Court’s verdict. He also filed a motion for a stay of execution until the apex court’s final decision.

What’s Next?

With the case now at the Supreme Court, the final decision will determine whether Sanusi II remains the Emir of Kano or if the court sides with the opposition. For now, the legal battle continues, but Sanusi’s reinstatement remains legally valid.

Stay updated as this high-stakes royal and legal showdown unfolds.
