The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Friday overturned a Kano State High Court injunction preventing Aminu Ado-Bayero and four other dethroned emirs of Bichi, Rano, Gaya, and Karaye from parading themselves as traditional rulers.
The judgement by a three-member panel of justice led by Mohammed Mustapha nullified the ruling of the lower court on July 15, 2024.
The court said the ruling was flawed and violated the principles of fair hearing.
The Court of Appeal directed the Chief Judge of the Kano State High Court to reassign the case to a different judge for fresh adjudication.

The Court of Appeal noted that the High Court’s decision undermined the credibility of the judicial process and necessitated the appellate court’s intervention.
