A civil society organisation, the Concerned Nigerians Movement, has urged the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to direct security agencies to respect the fundamental human rights of the deposed Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.

This was contained in a letter addressed to the retired major general on Tuesday and signed by the convener of the group, Deji Adeyanju.

In the letter entitled, “Unlawful and unconstitutional arrest and detention of former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi”, the group argued that Sanusi’s dethronement was unconstitutional, adding that his confinement was an infringement on his rights to liberty, peaceful assembly, and movement as enshrined in the constitution.

The group said, “We are greatly concerned over his arbitrary arrest and detention as these negate all constitutional provisions on the right to liberty, peaceful assembly and freedom of movement.

“The arrest and detention after dethronement carried out by the Kano State government are illegal and unconstitutional and many citizens are already insinuating that it has your consent and blessing as security agencies carried out the unlawful act.

“It is important that you use your good office and position as Commander-in-Chief to put a stop to this.

“Mr President, you would recall that banishment and the deportation of a deposed king have been declared severally by our courts to be unconstitutional. We refer to the case of ‘Government of Kebbi State vs. HRH Mustapha Jokolo (2013)’ where the Court of Appeal condemned and declared that banishment and deportation of a king are unconstitutional.

“We call on you to use your good office to immediately direct security agencies to respect his rights. The world will be keenly watching Nigeria on this.”

They want to keep him quiet for a long time.

The Governor can never take any action of this magnitude without the approval from the President. My personal thought though.

I concur.

You calling on a fo.ol to do that, honestly Baba is too daft.

Is it Buhari or gandollar. Everything Buhari

Even if he’s going to be banished, it should not be beyond Kano emirate. He should also be allowed to move freely and stay anywhere in the country other than Kano emirate. The idea of forcing him to live forever in Nasarawa is illegal and will be fiercely resisted.

But did Kwankwaso seek approval of GEJ before appointing Sanusi years ago?

Power play all played out then to remove Goodluck or make him powerless with all the CBN 10BN missing allegation.

The question now is:

"Where is Kwankwaso, Saraki, Dino and the likes of others in APC then now?'

Wetin concern Buhari for the matter? Na Buhari give am staff of office

Hh

You guys should stop using this dethronement to garner cheap publicity. Just let sleeping dogs lie.

Buhari is the worst thing that has happened to Nigeria.
He is wicked and very corrupt.
Ganduje is simply taking after him.

I think you are right

Story for the Gods

Is a pity

A lot has been said so far on this issue, but in my opinion, this is an open display of backwardness. Which one is "exile" again? If the government has anything substantial against Sanusi, let them take him to court already. He should be the one seeking asylum form political persecution instead......their problem!

My major concern is that another avenue for looting has been created, now that they have exiled him for live, and he is to be housed somewhere under government watch.....ehn! How much did Lai Mohammed say we are spending to feed El zakzaky every day again?

Buhari doesn't know shit about anything going on around him
The one steering this ship is doing it low-key
Buhari is just a figure head

And Deji adeyanju should keep his words
He vowed not to meddle in Nigeria politics again unless his families are threatened..
He should save his strength and fight for the war that's coming

The voice of Ganduje the hand of Buhari.

We are tired of all these emir news

Next pls

If this country eventually break, which I pray it does. Muslims go too suffer. These people are extremely backward.
