CJN Summons Judges Over Conflicting Orders on Kano Emirship Tussle

By Adamu Abubakar Isa

The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, has summoned the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court and the Chief Judge of Kano State High Court over conflicting injunctions regarding the Kano Emirate crisis.

Okay.ng reports that the two courts in Kano State have issued conflicting interim injunctions, with one ordering the eviction of reinstated emir, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, and the other restraining security forces from evicting or harassing him.

The CJN’s move aims to resolve the legal impasse in the ongoing battle for the royal stool between Sanusi and Aminu Ado Bayero.
