The presiding judge, Nasiru Saminu, on Wednesday ordered a return to status quo pending the hearing of the suit against the appointment of the news emirs.

Okay Nigeria reported on May 10th that the court issued an ex parte order restraining balkanisation of Kano emirate and installation of new emirs.
