Kano State High Court has put on hold the ruling of the state’s
Chief Magistrate Court which ordered the arrest of Mannir Sanusi,
the Chief of Staff to the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, and
two others.
The chief of staff who holds the title of Damburan Kano, along
with Mujitaba Abba and the Accountant of Kano Emirate Council, Sani
Muhammad-Kwaru were dragged before the court by the Kano State
Public Complainant and Anti-corruption Commission for failing to
honour its invitation in a N4 billion fraud investigation against
the Emir of Kano.
In his ruling on Tuesday, the Chief Magistrate Mohammed Idris
ordered the arrest of the three personalities over their alleged
refusal to honour the commission’s invitation.
However, Tuesday evening, a fresh ruling emerged from Justice S.
B Namallam of the state’s High Court which ordered the parties to
maintain status quo pending the hearing of the motion on
notice.
The court, therefore, fixed June 13 for hearing of the
substantive application which would be served on all the
parties.
