The Kano State Government on Monday dethroned Malam Muhammadu Sanusi ll, the Emir of Kano.
The government said the dethronement was resulted from the Emir’s disrespect to the office of the governor and other government agencies.
The Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji, said the removal was with immediate effect.
According to the SSS, the emir’s action violated the part 3 section A-E of Kano state law, hence the removal.
He said the removal was in line with consultation with relevant stakeholders. He said a new emir would be announced in due course. He urged Kano people to remain calm and go about their normal businesses.
