ebruary 15, (THEWILL) – The deposed Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, on Wednesday, paid a historic visit to the ancient city of Kano, barely three years after he was sacked as Emir.
Sanusi, the 14th Emir of Kano, was deposed on March 9, 2020, on allegations of insubordination, and was subsequently banished by the Governor of the State, Ganduje, to Awe, in Nasarrawa.
He arrived at the Aminu Kano International Airport on Wednesday, and moved straight to his mother’s residence, located along Ibrahim Dabo Road.
According to viral video footage seen by THEWILL, the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), in full Emir regalia, was seen exchanging pleasantries with different delegations of family members, traditional title holders and well-wishers.
A security source, who does not want his name on print, disclosed that the deposed Emir was on his way to Dutse, the Jigawa State capital, on a condolence visit to the Dutse Emirate Council, over the recent death of 78-year-old Emir, Late Muhammad Nuhu Sanusi.
While in Dutse, Sanusi, who doubled as the Leader of the Tijjaniyya Order in Nigeria, will pay a courtesy call on the new Emir of Dutse, Hameem Nuhu Sanusi.
