A Federal High Court in Abuja has declared the banishment of deposed Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Justice Anwuli Chikere of the Federal High Court made the declaration on Tuesday.
The court held that the restrictions placed on Sanusi after his deposition on March 9, 2020, on allegations of insubordination are a clear arbitrary violation of his right to freedom of movement and personal liberty granted by the Nigerian constitution.
Justice Chikere agreed with Prince Lateef Fagbemi SAN, counsel to Sanusi, that his client was moved out of Kano to Abuja and later to Awe, in Nasarawa State against his wish.
