A Kano High Court presided over by Justice Usman Na’Abba on Thursday dissolved the four additional emirates and first-class emirs created by the Kano State Government.
Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje, had on May 8, assented to a controversial law establishing four additional emirates with first-class emirs in Bichi, Rano, Karaye and Gaya.
But the law was challenged by the then member representing Gwarzo in the Kano State House of Assembly, Rabi’u Saleh Gwarzo, at the state high court.

This was contained in a statement issued by the state Commissioner of Information Comrade Muhammad and forwarded to Solacebase.com on Thursday.
