He urged the court to dismiss and strike out the entire process particularly the originating summons of the applicant motion.

“It is a privilege being an emir not a right.

The applicant filed his application five days after he was dethroned as the Emir of Kano.

“My lord the purported right of the applicant does not exist. This court has no jurisdiction to entertain this case,” Abubakar-Magaji said

Abubakar-Magaji also filed a motion on notice dated May 31, to set aside the exparte order it earlier granted retraining the respondents from arresting, intimidating or harassing the applicant.

Justice Simom Amobeda, said that the court would communicate the date for judgment to the parties.
