It appears you're referring to a news article about a legal challenge filed by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the former Emir of Kano, against the Kano State Government, the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), and two others.
To provide a brief summary:
Sanusi, who was removed as Emir of Kano in 2020, was subsequently banished to Lagos. He has now filed a lawsuit challenging his banishment, citing alleged violations of his fundamental human rights. The lawsuit was filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The respondents in the suit are:
- Kano State Government
- Abubakar Malami, the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF)
- Muhammadu Sanusi II, the current Emir of Kano (Sanusi's brother)
Sanusi is seeking a declaration that his banishment was unlawful and unconstitutional. He is also seeking an order restraining the respondents from further enforcing the banishment.
The former Emir is arguing that his fundamental rights to dignity, personal liberty, and freedom of movement were violated by his banishment. He is also claiming that the banishment was a form of punishment without trial, which is unconstitutional.
The case is ongoing, and it will be interesting to see how it unfolds.
