Both parties, including the Kano state government, have filed different suits at the federal and state high courts in the state, but another criticism was that the matter of chieftaincy was never within the jurisdiction of a federal high court.
However, Okanlawon Gaffar, a legal practitioner, in an interview with TimesNow.com.ng, explained why the federal high court has acted on the matter recently.
Gaffar said:
He went further to explain why the court did not see the connection between the human rights matter that the applicant (Bayero) raised and the chieftaincy matter raised by the defendants in their defence.
The lawyer said:
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that the Kano royal tussle between Muhammadu Sanusi II and deposed Aminu Ado Bayero took a new turn as the state governor allegedly moved to demolish the latter’s palace.
The trending video of alleged mobilised bulldozers and excavators heading to the mini-palace in Nasarawa generated reactions from Nigerians.
