BREAKING: Security Operatives Storm Kano Emir’s Palace After Sanusi’s Removal

Following the Kano State Government order that removed, Muhammadu Sanusi II as Emir of Kano in a historical twist as same happened to his grandfather.

A team of security operatives which included men of the Nigeria Police and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps(NSCDC) on Monday stormed the palace of the Emir of Kano in Kano State, believably in furtherance of the order.

The Emir of Kano’s removal was announced by the Secretary to the State Government, Usman Alhaji, during the State Executive Council meeting held at the Government House in Kano.

According to Alhaji, the decision to remove the Emir of Kano was as a result of his alleged consistent refusal to abide by instructions given to him by the state government.

Meanwhile, there have been reports of a rowdy session in the Kano State House of Assembly shortly after the announcement of the emir’s removal.

In a video trending on social media, Monday’s plenary was when a group of lawmakers in the chamber clustered together in what appeared to be a fight over the mace in the legislative chamber of the House.

The mace was later taken away from the chamber by a man believed to be the clerk of the House.

Sanusi’s removal comes one week after the Kano State Public Complaint and Anti-Corruption Commission had summoned the Emir to respond to a petition accusing him of selling lands belonging to the Kano Emirate to the tune of N2billion.

The traditional ruler had, however, secured a restriction order from a court to stop the commission from investigating him.

A decision that birthed the present situation at hand.
