A 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 an alleged N4 billion fraud investigation against the Emir of Kano Daily Nigerian reports.
In his ruling on Tuesday, Chief Magistrate Mohammed Idris ordered the arrest of the three personalities over their alleged refusal to honour the commission’s invitation.
However, late on 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
Is there suppose to be any body above the law? The alleged culprit must face the enquiry committee. The court should reconsider and allow the arrest immediately
