The deposed Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II, on Wednesday, appealed a judgment delivered by a Federal High Court dismissing his right of fair hearing against the Kano state Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission.
Counsels to the emir, Messrs Dikko and Mahmoud, filed the appeal on Wednesday.
The former Emir had sought the court’s protection against an investigation by the anti-corruption commission into an alleged N2.2 billion land scam.
“In addition to the notice of appeal, we have also filed an application for an injunction pending the hearing of our client’s appeal.
“We are optimistic that the appeal has merits and the facts and the law before the Court of Appeal are in favour of our client and the same will be pursued to a logical conclusion by our client.
“Based on the foregoing, therefore, all further actions in respect of the subject matter of the appeal are automatically put on hold and all parties should stay any action and not to take any precipitated step that will foist a fait accompli on the Court of Appeal,” Messrs Dikko and Mahmoud stated.
It will, however, be recalled that Justice Lewis Allagoa dismissed the emir’s application and granted the commission the right to continue the investigation into the alleged land scam.
