Following Friday’s judgment on the emirship tussle in Kano State, the State Government has clarified the Court of Appeal ruling in the ongoing legal battle.

Speaking at a press briefing held at the NUJ Secretariat in Kano, the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Haruna Dederi, emphasised the need for accurate information regarding the legal proceedings.

Dederi explained that the Court of Appeal, in its judgment delivered on January 10, 2025, upheld the repeal of the Kano Emirate Council Law, 2019, and overturned the judgment of the Federal High Court, Kano.
