Recall that El-Rufai appointed the former Nigerian Ambassador to Thailand, Bamalli as the new Emir of Zazzau.

Aminu is seeking an order of interim injunction restraining defendants/respondents, especially El-Rufai (the 1st defendant), whether by himself or appointees, from installing Bamalli (the 11th defendant) as the Emir.

He wants an order restraining Bamalli from parading himself as the Emir pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice.
