The Federal High Court sitting in Kano is set to deliver judgment in the case of deposed former Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero, who is alleging the abuse of his fundamental human rights for being removed without his consent and the subsequent move to arrest him by the Kano State Government.
The Court, in relying on Bayero’s motion of protection of fundamental human rights, ordered the eviction of the reinstated Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II from Kofar Kudu Palace, after hearing an order to that effect filed by the Counsel to the deposed Bayero, two weeks ago.
When the case resumed hearing, Friday, the Judge, S. A. Amobeda said he would grant an accelerated hearing to the matter, so that judgment would be delivered without wasting everyone’s time.
He said before the court is a notice of preliminary objections coming under order 29 for the Court to take all the orders together, adding that he needs not to be circumvented in the matters.
Justice Amobeda, said, “The Court is known for starting with preliminary objections before taking any other issues. The Court is that of equity and justice, no need for interruptions in the submission of learned Counsels,” he added.
Meanwhile, Justice S. A. Amobeda who gave the exparte order on Tuesday stated that the order is made in the interest of justice and maintenance of peace in Kano State.
The orders were an order of interim injunction restraining the respondents either by themselves, their agents, servants, privies or any other person or authority from inviting, arresting, detaining, threatening, intimidating, harassing the Applicant, raiding, tempering with or visiting the Applicant’s to arrest or infringe on his right or in any other way infringe or attempt to infringe the Applicant’s rights pending the hearing and determination of the Originating Motion.
