    Kano Emirate Crisis: CJN Calls Emergency Meeting With Top Judges

    The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, has summoned the Chief Judges of the Federal High Court and the Kano State High Court in response to the recent legal turmoil surrounding the Kano Emirate.

    This summons follows the issuance of conflicting interim injunctions by the two courts, which have created significant uncertainty and tension within the state.

    The conflicting rulings have intensified the ongoing legal and political disputes over the Kano Emirate, prompting the CJN to intervene to restore order and coherence.

    At the heart of the disputes is the status and authority within the Kano Emirate, leading to divergent court orders that have further complicated the situation.

    In his summons on Wednesday, Justice Ariwoola emphasized the importance of “judicial coordination and the necessity for the judiciary to present a unified front, particularly in cases of substantial public interest.

    “The upcoming meeting with the chief judges aims to clarify jurisdictional boundaries and prevent future occurrences of conflicting judicial orders.

    “The situation in Kano has garnered national attention, with many stakeholders calling for a swift resolution following the state government’s decision to sack Emir Ado Bayero and reinstate Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II.”

    Reportedly, there was a heavy presence of security personnel, including policemen, soldiers, and officials of the Department of State Services, among others, observed on Saturday at the Gidan Sarki Nasarawa, which is the residence of the dethroned Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero.

    Additionally, soldiers were sighted at the residence of the current Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II, the Kano State Government House, and various strategic locations within the metropolis. These security measures were taken as part of efforts to enhance security following the power struggle within the emirate.
