Kano State Government has rejected the N10m fine slammed on them by a Federal High Court in the State for breaching the fundamental human rights of the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero.
Recall that a Federal High Court in Kano had on Friday slammed the fine of N10m on the Kano Government.
Following this, in a press conference at the Government House on Friday, the Attorney General of the state and Commissioner for Justice Haruna Dederi representing the Governor described the situation as unfortunate.
He blamed the case on some enemies of the state who were all out to disrupt the peace and sanity of Kano.
According to the Commissioner, the State never trampled on the fundamental human rights of the deposed emir. The attorney general noted that the police have continued to take orders from above even though the governor is the state’s chief security officer.
He is further appealing to well-meaning Nigerians and international friends to intervene so that there will be peace and sustainable development in the state.
