Justice Usman Na’abba struck out the name of the Kano Government Printer from the list of defendants at the instance of prayers by counsel to the applicant, Suraj Sa,eda, SAN.
Na’abba then adjourned the matter until July 17, for hearing.
It was reported that on May 10, the Court through an application by Rabiu Gwarzo restrained Ganduje and all other respondents in the case from appointing or recognising any purported emir.
Earlier, Counsel to the applicant, Suraj Sa’eda, SAN, urged the Court to strike out the sixth defendant from the suit, pointing out that the Kano State Emirs’ Appointment And Disposition Amendment Law, 2019 was complete. He said accusing the Kano Government printer on the law he printed had no basis in law.
Counsel to the Speaker, Louis Mathew-Alozie, SAN, who did not object, also prayed the Court to strike out the sixth defendant.
