The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has warned that fire would consume any one trying to cause chaos in Kano State. This was as Sanusi said the battle over Kano Emirate belonged to God, hence residents should remain calm and resist any temptation that could cause unrest.
He made the remark in a viral video while reacting to the Appeal Court judgement. The Abuja Division of the Appeal Court had nullified the order of the Federal High Court in Kano. The Kano Federal High Court had nullified Sanusi 's appointment following an emirate tussle in Kano State. The order nullifying Sanusi 's appointment was issued by Justice Abubakar Liman of the Kano Division of the Federal High Court on June 20, 2024.
“Even the judge who issued the initial order was aware of the limits of his jurisdiction. Those who influenced him to make that decision also knew the truth. “However, for the past eight months, their aim has been to promote selfish interests and instigate unrest in this part of the country. “Despite their efforts, our greatest achievement is that the state has remained peaceful. There has been no violence or disorder. We call on everyone to continue maintaining peace and unity.
