Legal representatives of the 15th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, in the ongoing Kano emirate tussle, have withdrawn their services in the case before the State High Court.
The action by the legal representatives is to show their dissatisfaction with a ruling earlier by the Court not granting a stay of proceedings in the matter.
When the matter came up for hearing, counsel to the first respondent, Abdul Muhammed, SAN, told the court that there was an affidavit of fact, it had a motion of appeal and notice of stay of proceedings in the registry.
“When a judge of a high Court is aware of an application in a higher court, the notification in the dependency in the lower court must be in affidavit of facts. It is expected that at a trial court should stop the hearing on the matter pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.”
Muhammed urged the court to stay the proceedings pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.
He told the court that they were served with the court processes on Thursday morning.
He sought an adjournment that would enable them to respond but the court refused his prayers.
He therefore announced his withdrawal of service from the case.
