Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State stated on Friday, May 24, that Justice Mohammed
Liman of the Federal High Court in Kano, who issued an order on Thursday restraining the state government from enforcing the Kano State Emirate Council Repeal Law, is currently in America.
The governor mentioned that he signed the proposed law at exactly 5:14 pm, after which the orders were issued.
“It means they were already armed with the motion ex-parte even before I gave assent to the bill passed by the State House of Assembly or at what time had they approached the court to obtain the order?,” he asked.
“The judge is in America, how can he sit in America and give order in Nigeria to stop a legitimate process?, he queried.
Yusuf said Sanusi’s reinstatement was delayed because due process was being followed.
