The Appeal Court has upheld the decision to block the reinstatement of former Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.
This ruling confirms the earlier verdict by a lower court that dismissed his request to return to the throne after his deposition in March 2020.
The court found no basis to overturn the previous judgment, effectively solidifying the status of his successor.
Sanusi, a prominent figure in Nigeria, had been seeking legal redress regarding his removal, but the appellate court’s decision marks a significant setback in his efforts.
