In what appears to
be more troubles for the embattled Emir of Kano Mallam Muhammadu Sanusi ii, the
State Anti Corruption and Complaints Commission has summoned him to appear
before it to answer for alleged misappropriation of Kano Emirate Funds.
The Kano Public
Complaints and Anti Corruption Commission was said to have given the Emir a
24-hour ultimatum within which he must appear to defend himself on alleged
corruption charges
The ultimatum,
however, elapses today, 5th of March 2020.
Emir Sanusi is to
answer questions over alleged misappropriating N3.4 billion by the Kano Emirate
Council under his watch.
Though the Emir did
not officially speak on the invitation, an impeccable source within the Palace
confirmed that the Emir had actually received a letter from the anti-graft
Commission to that effect.
When asked whether
Emir Sanusi will be willing to honour the invitation, he said, “that I may not
confirm to you, but you know that Emir Sanusi is a law-abiding leader.
“He has not
discussed the development with anyone of us, but I believe he may honour the
invitation in person or send a senior palace Chief who is capable of standing
for him.”
However, several
calls put across to the Chairman of the Commission to explain in details the
issues in contest, did not yield results as he could not be reached on phone.
But an insider in
the commission confirmed the invitation, saying that the Emir was given 24
hours to appear before the Commission, “and I can assure you that there is no
going back on the probe against him and the emirate council on the issue of
alleged misappropriation of public funds.”
