The Supreme Court has fixed April 19, 2027, for further hearing in the suit regarding the Kano emirate tussle between Mohammadu Sanusi II and Aminu Bayero. At yesterday’s sitting, the apex court heard preliminary arguments from the parties involved in the dispute before announcing an adjournment.

Speaking after the court session, Aminu Babba Dan’Agundi, the appellant, described the date as “too far off,” adding that his legal team would explore the option of applying to the court to move the date closer.

“We believe the date currently fixed for the hearing is too far off,” Dan’Agundi said.

“While the Supreme Court can sometimes shift the trial for two or three years, this specific case should not take that long. But the law grants us the right to write and request that the court move to change the date. “By God’s grace, we intend to do this so that these emirate issues can finally be resolved.”
