Harboursandports.com.Lagos: Kano State
government says it did not banish the deposed Emir, Muhammad Sanusi II,
from Kano.
The Attorney-General of the state, Ibrahim Muktar,
said this while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on
Wednesday.

Muktar
said the state government was clear in its press statement on Monday that
Sanusi was deposed but never made any reference to any banishment.
“If
you listen to the Secretary to the State Government when he was addressing the
press on the issue of the removal of the emir from office, there was no where
he stated that the emir was banished from Kano State.
“We have been hearing from the media that he has
been banished but what I know is that he was taken out of Kano State but
banishment was not part of our decision. There is no such decision to the best
of my knowledge.
“The state government has not taken the law into its
hands. Let me explain that the decision to remove the emir from office is
administrative and was not based on the issues pending before the court. All
the issues pending before the court have nothing to do with the removal of the
emir or the dethronement.”
