The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwoola has waded into the judicial sham in Kano following conflicting court orders over the Emirship tussle, summoning the Chief Judges of the Federal High Court and the Kano State High Court.
The conflicting orders by the two courts of concurrent jurisdiction ridiculed the judiciary, and created uncertainty and tension within the volatile Northwest state.
In his summons on Wednesday, Justice Ariwoola emphasized the importance of “judicial coordination and the necessity for the judiciary to present a unified front, particularly in cases of substantial public interest.
“The upcoming meeting with the chief judges aims to clarify jurisdictional boundaries and prevent future occurrences of conflicting judicial orders.
“The situation in Kano has garnered national attention, with many stakeholders calling for a swift resolution following the state government’s decision to sack Emir Ado Bayero and reinstate Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II.”
