The Kano state government dethroned Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi ll on Monday over disrespect to the office of the governor and other government agencies. Malam Muhammadu Sanusi ll, who was named the new emir of Kano in June 2014, spent 5 years, 6 months and 26 days on the throne.

Before his appointment as the emir, Sanusi ll served as the central bank governor. He raised accusations of high-level fraud and corruption within the Nigeria’s petroleum industry, alleging that $20bn (£12bn) in oil revenue was missing.

The governor of the state has been at loggerhead with Emir Sanusi II, leading to the creation of additional four new emirates in the state and several probes by both the state lawmakers and Kano anti-graft commission.

What if it was all a grand scheme to have him contest d 2023 presidential elections. Ppl will sympathize with him and dat automatically guarantees him sympathy votes..

It's all planned!

He lied against GEJ and he is meeting his retribution!

It was written in their scripts. If you are against one, they all will be against you.

I believe Gaduje is Fulani, Ado Bayero is Fulani and Sanusi is Fulani all from Kano

Hence, it's a family issue that is non of my business.

Many people don't know that even local government chairman can remove any emir dat abuse his power like sanusi

Damnnnnn niggarrr

Too bad

When you want to tell Aboki or Abochi whatever they are called. They hate the truth. They hate modernization. They rather die like a scaly dog than to understand good things.

Let one Christian shout Allahk baru and see how their Coco nut head will break loose.

Na so

Sanisi don buy maket... Nd. He's d only sensible living entity in d north... Bad fr dem

Check my siggy fr dope 3d logo desin

Media food is ready. Quickly cash out on this issue before the next one set in.

It's only done in north try am for Yoruba land

Haaaa

Sanusi is a confused man

Allahu'Akbar!

Chicken has come to roost

And the president has never responded yet. What a country we live in. Sanusi Lamido may be suffering from the sins of the past but I think it's untoward of the president to keep a sealed lip at this very crucial time. How are the mighty fallen. May bad portion of life never be ours in Jesus name.

Nothing last forever.

By the time Sanusi will get a chance to sing all the songs in his archives, e go sweet die.

Hmm.

He was exposing the corruption within the government. He had it coming. May his God reward his good efforts and deeds. The world is full of corruption.

Stupid useless nonsense write up

Like I said the other place, he's a victim of his own crass and expedient personality - crassness isn't truthfulness, and expediency isn't cleverness. He's always been an intelligent and an opinionated man, but he's neither been an unassuming/unhypocritical man in particular nor a conscientious man in general.

he now have all the time to look for the audio missing $20b
