Muhammadu Sanusi II, from demolishing or tempering with any structure
in the emir's palace.
NAN reports that one Alhaji Salim Bayero had filed the suit, seeking
order to stop the emir, the Emirate Council, Attorney General and
Commissioner for Justice, from destroying some structures in the
palace.
He also prayed the court to restrain the defendants from evicting
occupiers of the structures pending the determination of a substantive
suit on the matter.
The Judge, Justice A.T. Badamasi, in his ruling also restrained the
emir and the emirate council from evicting any person residing inside
the palace known as Gidan Rumfa until the determination of the
substantive application.
The judge also directed that the parties should maintain the status
quo pending the determination of the substantive suit.
Badamasi adjourned hearing of the main suit till November 12 for hearing.
Reacting to the ruling, counsel to the plaintiff, Mr Sanusi Sadiq,
told newsmen that what the emir and the council were seeking to
destroy was the graveyard where no fewer than 13 former Kano emirs
were buried.
He explained that the plan to demolish the structures in the palace
was capable of ''killing the ancient tradition which Kano emirate
council was known for.
