The dethroned Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II has regained his freedom and is set to leave Awe, a town in Nasarawa state.

The deposed Emir was taken to Awe in Nassarwa state after his dethronement by Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano state.

He was dethroned over alleged disrespect to the office of the governor and other government agencies.

The 14th emir of Kano was hours after his removal banished to Nasarawa State, a development that elicited outcry from different quarters.

He was subsequently replaced by Aminu Ado Bayero, the son of the 13th emir of Kano.

Sanusi II, on Thursday instituted a suit before the Federal High Court in Abuja seeking an order for his release from detention and confinement.

Also, lawyers and civil society groups have continued mounting pressure on the federal and Kano State governments to allow the dethroned emir enjoy his freedom.

In a fundamental rights enforcement application filed by his lawyers led by Lateef Fagbemi, Prof. Konyinsola Ajayi and Abubakar Mahmoud, all Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN),

Sanusi sought for two reliefs: “An interim order releasing him from detention and/or confinement of the respondents and restoring the applicant’s rights to human dignity, personal liberty, freedom of association and movement in Nigeria (apart from Kano State) pending the hearing and determination of the Applicant’s Originating Motion.”

Respondents in the suit include the Inspector General of Police, the Director General, Department of State Service (DSS), Attorney General of Kano State and the Attorney General of the Federation.

The application was brought under sections 34, 35, 40, 41 and 46 of the Nigerian Constitution, and Articles 5, 6, 10, 12(1) of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act Cap A9 LFN 2010 and Order IV Rules 3 and 4 of the Fundamental Rights (Enforcement Procedure) Rules 2009.

Finally

Good! He had no business being in Awe in the first place.

However, the good sides to this needless drama are the search light and fame it has brought to Awe community and the unforgettable interface the locals had with Sanusi at the mosque. ENGRAVED.

No, I have not been following propaganda and internet lies.

Do you have any official proof, government speech or documentation by any government in Nigeria that he was in jail or under any kind of arrest? Do you?

Better to be by the sidelines watching the Soap Opera from these artists

Ask him now? Or the fact that he's in Nasarawa means he was locked up in jail or under arrest?

Why are you people so obsessed with lies and propaganda?

Show us the letter by Kano state government that says he's under arrest and sent to jail in Nasarawa, I don't do lies and propaganda.

Sanusi should have been eyeing international role in world Bank or ECOWAS, AU or so after having held one of the most important appointive position in the Nigeria as CBN Governor.

Whatever beffudled him into relegating into the race for trado-religious title that got him being tossed like a lowlife punk by people who are mostly illiterates compared to his sound educational background.

What was most annoying to me was that they couldn't even move him to a befitting (or even completed) apartment.

Dont blame him .. He doesn't know what he's doing
Blame Buhari.... He has rendered many youths useless and worthless

Nobody supports Buhari and remains normal ..
The man is a certified con man

ZombiePUNISHER:

Look at this loser? I asked him to show us the official documentation by the Kano state government that imprisoned and banished the sacked emir and he came back with news paper den say den say.

Typical ipob, they are all about lies, propaganda and silly errands.

El Rufai went there to personally enforce the court order
