Emir Of Kano Is Allegedly Suicidal And Battling Clinical Depression by impetus: 8:45am On Aug 12, 2014
Emir of Kano is allegedly suicidal and battling clinical depression

The Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has been allegedly placed under suicide watch. It was gathered that shortly after he emerged the new Emir, June 8, 2014, of which some believed was a politically motivated appointment by the governor of Kano State, the former cbn governor began exhibiting symptoms of severe clinical depression.

The symptoms reportedly grew worse, a source who spoke with 24Ureport said. “He is suicidal. He is secretly being watched by his close aides”, said the source. The source who pointed out that the seat of Emir is highly spiritual/traditional stated that the current Emir may not have been the rightful heir to the throne.

“Not anyone can just mount the seat because he can or because he has political connections with the high ups” He also explained the customs of selecting a new Emir after the death of one.

The insider said, when an Emir rules for up to 50 years, his first son ascends the throne automatically after his death without contest. Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi whose grandfather, Muhammadu Sunusi was a former Emir of Kano did not rule up to 50 years. “Ado Bayero was Emir for over 50 years.

The elders and handlers of the stool were aware of the customs and were prepared to crown the son of Ado Bayero when the Governor of Kano intervened.” He added. The former cbn boss’ name was allegedly not enlisted among those recommended by the handlers of the traditional stool to the governor for crowning as Emir.

Another insider said that the silence of the other first class Emirs over the coronation of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as Emir of Kano was a sign not to be ignored. He stated that none of the Emirs sent congratulatory messages to the new occupant of the seat of Emir of Kano. He explained that there was a deliberate decision by the Emirs to refrain from congratulating the Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the new Emir of Kano.

The source however downplayed that the Emir was feeling suicidal while adding that Sanusi Lamido Sanusi appeared a little pale. Another source from a popular political family, the Yankassi family in Kano who is considered a family friend to the Sanusi Lamido Sanusi family also called the claim of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi being clinically depressed false. In his words, “Very untrue.

In fact I just came out from a meeting with him and he looks very stable with sound mind”. It remains uncertain the health status of the occupant of the Emir’s seat in Kano. Many within the palace contacted by 247ureports.com declined to speak on the health status of the man, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.

But feelers coming out of the presidency in Abuja indicate that Sanusi Lamido Sanusi’s problems may just be beginning. A very credible source indicates that the Jonathan administration has launched a broad investigation into the activities of the former cbn governor. Three anti-graft commissions are said to be tasked with the investigation.

The source explained that the uncanny silence on the part of the new Emir has to do with the new unearthed information on his financial activities while at the realm of activities at the cbn. One of the many damning information uncovered included the acquisition of an Islamic Bank – while still at the CBN top seat.

There are also unclear links discovered by security operatives to groups in Sudan suspected to be securing funds for violent Jihadist operations across the African continent. This remains unverified.
