Sanusi to challenge detention, forced exile, Kano continues N2.2bn fraud probe

anishment and detention by the Kano State Government.

The Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji, who announced Sanusi’s deposition and the appointment of Alhaji Aminu Bayero as his successor, said the immediate past Emir was removed because of “total disrespect to lawful instructions from the office of the state governor.” “We are of the firm view that this action is illegal and unconstitutional. Section 35 of our constitution guarantees every citizen the right to personal liberty. The bases of the denial of personal liberty are set out clearly in this Section of the Constitution. None applies to the case of the Emir.”

“We, the legal team of the dethroned Emir, are working both in Kano and Abuja and unless he is released immediately, we will be taking appropriate legal action.” “We are not aware of such due inquiry nor are we aware that the Kano State Council of Chiefs was at any time summoned to any meeting much less discuss the removal of the Emir or give any advice to the Governor on the deposition.”

He said the Emir later received the letter which indicated that he was to be moved to Nasarawa State. He said when it was clear that the police were bent on using force to achieve their objective, the Emir cooperated with them in order not to jeopardize his safety, that of his family and persons around.Balarabe-Mahmoud said the Emir was taken in a private aircraft at 6:40pm, while the family subsequently boarded the aircraft arranged by his friends and departed for Lagos about 15 minutes later.

But on March 6, a Federal High Court sitting in Kano granted an interim injunction restraining the Kano State anti-commission agency from further investigating the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II. Yakasai said the state government had to use policemen to force him out of the place. The governor’s spokesman said this on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Tuesday.

In a video released in the early morning hours of Tuesday, the dethroned Emir of Kano said he accepted the dethronement as a will of God. He prayed that God bless “us with good leaders.”

The governor of Kano state is biting more than he can chew

While El-Rufai appoints him into KADIPA board

Kano continues ₦2.2B fraud probe... I'm wondering if Gandollar's ultimate goal is to jail SLS.

The Attorney general of Kano State should guide the governor, that “the constitutional and executive territorial jurisdiction of the governor is limited to Kano State”. In the 21st century, the Kano state government is so backwards. The Northerners should go away for good.

Inside life, someone that took millions of dollars with imperical evidence on camera, is finding fault on someone who spends his allocation (money).
