The Kano House of Assembly on Tuesday passed a bill to reverse the dissolution of three emirates in the state but also downgrading their emirs from first-class to second-class status.
In May, the lawmakers amended the emirate council law of the state to scrap the emirates of Gaya, Rano, Karaye and Bichi and restoring Kano as the only emirate in the state.
The development, which saw the removal of all the five sitting emirs and the reinstatement of Lamido Sanusi as the emir of Kano, led to an ongoing crisis in the state and battles in the law courts.
On Tuesday, the lawmakers maintained the scrapping of Bichi emirate and restored the emirate of Gaya, Karaye and Rano but downgraded their emirs and reduced the number of local government areas under their domain.
This is significant as the constitution allocates five per cent of federal allocations to local governments to the traditional institutions in the areas.
The lawmakers said they took the first reading of the bill before embarking on a recess on 23 May, although this was not reported in the media.
The Speaker of the House, Jibril Falgore, presided over the plenary on Tuesday.
After the second and third reading of the bill, the deputy speaker, Muhammad Bello, moved for the adoption and passage of the bill.
The lawmakers approved the downgrading of the scrapped emirates to second-class emirates.
Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo is alive, hale and hearty, according to reports.
This dispelled rumours in some quarters that the former President had died.
Nigerians and indeed the global community were thus enjoined to ignore the news of Obasanjo’s death.
It would be recalled that there had been news on the social media that the former President had passed on.
A terse statement jettisoning the rumour was captured thus, “The elder statesman is alive and actively engaged in various national and continental activities.
Ignore the death rumours”.
Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command, acting on credible intelligence, intercepted an unregistered MAN diesel truck at the exit point of Lagos State conveying forty-seven (47) sacks of military camouflage uniforms and eighty (80) cartons of drugs suspected to be illicit substances. Four suspects has been arrested and in Police custody
Preliminary investigation revealed that the military camouflage uniforms were allegedly being transported to the Eastern part of the country.
Investigation is ongoing to determine the source, ownership, and intended recipients of the recovered items, as well as the extent of the suspects’ involvement. Efforts are also ongoing to apprehend other persons connected with the criminal act.
