Muhammad Sanusi, deposed emir of Kano, has been banished
from the state.
The Kano executive council chaired by Abdullahi Ganduje,
governor of the state, had removed Sanusi from the throne for “total disrespect
to the office of the governor”.
The council stated that the removal was reached in order to
safeguard the sanctity, culture, tradition, religion and prestige of the
emirate.
The deposed emir was said to have been banished to Nassarawa
state where he would live in exile.
Salihu Tanko-Yakasai, an aide of Ganduje, had told TheCable
that the former emir was in custody of the police but not arrested.
He said Sanusi was expected to go on exile after his
removal, according to tradition.
“He was not arrested, but you know traditionally by law,
after sacking of the emir then he’s expected to go on exile,” Tanko-Yakasai
said.
“He’s under the custody of the police and waiting to be
taken to the airport from where he goes on exile.”
Aminu Ado Bayero, emir of Bichi, has been announced as
Sanusi’s successor.
