12 SANs lead Sanusi’s freedom battle as hearing begins today

The deposed Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, on Thursday instituted a suit before the Federal High Court in Abuja seeking an order for his release from the post-dethronement detention and confinement.

The PUNCH learnt late on Thursday that former Emir’s preliminary ex parte application seeking an interim order for his release had  been assigned to Justice Anwuli Chikere.

Barring any last-minute development, the judge will hear the ex parte application today.

12 SANs will be leading the freedom battle.
