The petitioners are requesting an injunction prohibiting Aminu Ado-Bayero, the fifteenth Emir, and the other four deposed Emirs of Bichi, Rano, Gaya, and Karaye from acting in regalia.

Alhaji Aminu Ado-Bayero, Alhaji Nasiru Ado-Bayero, Bichi Emir; Dr. Ibrahim Abubakar ll, Karaye Emir; Alhaji Kabiru Muhammad-Inuwa, Rano Emir; and Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim-Gaya, Emir are the of Gaya.

Attorney for the applicants, Mr. Eyitayo Fatogun SAN, told the court that he was served five processes by the first respondent on July 1 at approximately 6:30 p.m. when the case came up for hearing on all pending applications.

"Oh Lord, we filed all of our responses after receiving the responder five processes yesterday evening.

"We request that the court grant us a half-hour to withdraw so that we can provide the respondent with our answers."

Ado-Bayero's attorney, Mr. Abdul Muhammed SAN, objected to the 30-minute responders standdown and requested a postponement so he could respond and submit all of their applications.

The case was postponed to July 4th by Justice Amina Adamu-Aliyu in order to hear all outstanding applications and initiating motions.

In the interest of maintaining peace in Kano, the court issued an order on May 27 granting an interim injunction prohibiting the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth respondents—as well as their servants and privies—from representing themselves as Emirs.

Remember that on May 23, the Kano State House of Assembly abolished the state's four recently established Emirate councils, and Governor Abba Kabir-Yusuf reappointed Lamido Sanusi to the position of Emir of Kano.

61.16 million BVN registrations as the CBN deadline draws near

  On March 15, 2024, the number of people registered for the Bank Verification Number (BVN) climbed to 61.16 million. The most recent BVN registration data made available by the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS) disclosed this. The BVN database contained 59.9 million records as of January 26, 2024, according to a previous analysis from Nairametrics. According to this data, 674,280 new BVN registrations were made between the end of January and the middle of March of this year. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) recently announced that all bank accounts without BVN would be blocked starting in April 2024, which may have led to the spike in registrations for the number, even if it had remained slow during 2023. The Apex Bank also sent instructions to merchant, commercial, non-interest, and payment service banks in December of last year. By means of a circular sent to mobile money providers and other financial institutions, it is mandated that the BVN, or National Identif...
