  • The presiding justice and another justice agreed with Justice Kolawole that the federal high court has no jurisdiction to go into the Kano emirate legal battle.

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has prohibited the Federal High Court in Kano from intervening in the Kano Emirate’s ongoing legal dispute.

In a divided ruling, with two justices opposing one, the appellate court decreed that the federal high court lacks the authority to intervene in Kano State’s chieftaincy affairs.

Justice Gabriel Omoniyi Kolawole, who delivered the lead judgment, stated that the federal high court should not have interfered in the chieftaincy matters, but instead ordered the case to be transferred to the Kano state high court.

However, Presiding Justice Mustapha Mohammed and another justice concurred with Kolawole that the federal high court had no jurisdiction over the Kano emirate’s legal battle.

They disagreed with Kolawole’s decision to return the case to the Kano Chief Judge for reassignment, instead ruling that the case should be struck out due to lack of jurisdiction.

Consequently, the two justices dismissed the federal high court’s proceedings, citing lack of jurisdiction as the primary reason.
