A Federal High Court sitting in Kano and presided by Justice Simon Amobeda, has reserved judgement in the fundamental human rights suit filed by the dethroned Fifteenth Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, following a heated argument between the prosecution counsel and defendant counsel during the hearing.
Counsel to second respondent, Mahmood Magaji, told the court that he filed a preliminary objection dated May 30th and filed May 31st on four grounds bordering around his fundamental rights and the repealed Kano Emirate law.
Magaji prayed the court to dismiss and strike out the originating summon.
Magaji also filed a motion of notice to set aside the ex parte order earlier granted by the court restraining them from arresting the dethroned Emir.
The applicant Michael Numa, (SAN) had earlier argued that the court has jurisdiction to entertain the matter as it bothers on the fundamental rights of the applicant.
He prayed the court to accept the fundamental rights suit in the interest of justice and peace of the state.
The Kano State government recently abolished the five Emirates in the state, dethroning Aminu Ado Bayero and four other first class Emirs after repealing the Kano Emirate Law.
The judge has reserved judgement for a later date.
