A Kano State High Court has nullified the appointment and creation of four additional Emirates in Kano State.
The presiding judge, Justice Usman Na’abba, on Thursday, November 21, 2019 ruled that due process was not followed in the creation of the Emirates.
Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje had earlier in May assented the bill seeking the establishment of four additional first class Emirates – Rano, Gaya, Karaya and Bichiin – in Kano State.
Ganduje’s assented the bill following its passage by the Kano State House of Assembly.
He later in the month presented letters of appointment to the four new first-class Emirs during a ceremony held at the state capital.
Those presented with the letters of appointment include Aminu Ado Bayero, the son of Late Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero, as the Emir of Bichi; Ibrahim Abulkadir as the Emir of Gaya; Tafida Abubakar as the Emir Of Rano and Abubakar Ibrahim II as the Emir of Karaye.
Ganduje during the presentation said the creation of an additional four Emirates will make the Kano traditional system more efficient.
