AGF Malami, Kano AG ordered my detention – Sanusi

– Kano CP cited order from Abuja to banish me to Nasarawa

– I was harassed out of palace without taking my personal belongings

– Ex-emir seeks right to live in Kano, leaves Abuja for Lagos

Lamido Sanusi says his dethronement as Emir of Kano is unjustifiable but won’t take legal action against the Kano State Government.

The former Central Bank Governor, who has had a frosty relationship with Governor Umar Ganduje since 2017, was sent packing by the state government on Monday for “total disrespect for lawful instructions from the office of the state government”.

Specifically, the Kano State Government dethroned Sanusi, the 14th Emir of Kano, following an approval by the state executive council.

It also cited Sanusi’s alleged refusal to attend official meetings and programmes organised by the government without any lawful justification, which it said amount to total insubordination.

Sanusi, who said he was denied fair hearing in the process leading to his deposition, claimed his arrest order, banishment from Kano and subsequent detention in Awe, Nasarawa State, came from Abuja.

He claimed the Attorney General of Kano State, Ibrahim Muktar, and the Attorney General of the Federation, Mr Abubakar Malami (SAN), instructed the Department of State Services and police to detain him.

Sanusi said he was harassed and rushed out of the palace without being allowed to pick up his personal belongings.

He said upon his dethronement, an unnamed friend of his sent an aircraft to Kano to convey him and his family to Lagos but that the Kano State Commissioner of Police ordered him to be flown to Abuja in another aircraft without his family members.

Sanusi stated these in the suit he filed on Thursday to challenge his detention and confinement in Awe.

The Federal High Court in Abuja where he filed the suit on Friday granted an interim order for his release.

Justice Anwuli Chikere made the interim order after lawyer for the ex-CBN chief, Mr Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), moved an ex parte application earlier filed along with the main suit.

Fagbemi urged the court to restore the former emir’s rights to human dignity, personal liberty, freedom of association and movement in Nigeria.

He applied that his client be freed from the detention and allowed to move about in Nigeria apart from Kano in the interim.

He said his client had not been charged with any criminal offence to warrant his detention.

Justice Chikere granted the application, saying, “An interim order is hereby made releasing the applicant from the 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 summons.”

The respondents to which the court order was directed are, the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu; Director-General of the DSS, Yusuf Bichi; Muktar; and Malami.

Justice Chkere ordered that the order for the release of the applicant and the processes filed in the suit should be served on the respondents through any officer in their offices.

The judge adjourned till March 26 for the hearing of the main suit.

By that time, the four respondents are expected to have filed their defence.

Sanusi was first banished to Loko, a remote location in Nasarawa, before he was moved to Awe on Tuesday.

In his suit, Sanusi said he “is being subjected to inhumane treatment and discrimination of all sorts”.

He said this through his Chief of Staff (when he was emir), Da Buram Kano, who deposed to the affidavit filed in support of the suit on his behalf, said his dethronement was baseless but would not be challenging it.

The affidavit stated in part, “I verily believe the state government purportedly removed the applicant from office as the Emir Kano on March 9, 2020 without any basis or justification whatsoever and was not given any hearing on any allegation on which his removal was predicated.

“The applicant is however, not challenging his removal as Emir of Kano in this suit.”

The deponent said since Sanusi’s “forcible relocation from the Palace of the Emir of Kano to Abuja, and later Nasarawa State, he has not been able to meet or unite with his wives, children, relatives and friends and that his rights have been severely curtailed”.

He added that that before Sanusi was served his letter of dethronement, the palace was cordoned off by police and the DSS officers.

He said Sanusi informed the CP of his intention to fly with his family members on an aircraft sent to Kano by a friend, but his request was rebuffed by the police chief.

According to the aide, the CP told Sanusi that the instructions he received from Abuja was to take him to the Nigerian capital alone without his family.

Da Buram Kano said, “I know for a fact that the CP refused the applicant’s requests for protection and to carry his family with him to Lagos and stated that he had no such instructions from above, but instead directed that the applicant be flown to Abuja and then taken to Nasarawa State.

Help a brother!

Hmmm

According to the English dictionary; An attorney is, a lawyer; one who advises or represents others in legal matters as a profession.
An agent or representative authorized to act on someone else's behalf.

But in our own clime, it seems to mean; a lawyer who the government uses to oppress its citizens that is critical of them, nawao

Mr sanusi sell your 2 roll royce gifts and use am for kano people and also fly air peace instead of private jets . Stop all this yeye hypocrisy

Ok

This is why there is no rioting in Kano, the people are becoming more educated and have access to social media.
In the past by now Igbos and southerners would have been blamed to divert attention and 5000 Igbo traders shops would have been vandalized by illiterate ignoramuses.
Kano is growing gradually as a cosmopolitan city with education

If AGF could be aware, that means someone at the top that won't talk is also aware.....

Noise making drama king don resume again...

Spoke of Poverty and Lack of Education yet spends N4billion to renovate already lovely palace

Never built a single bock of classroom in his lifetime, yet he shows off Rolls Royce on IG like Dino melaye

Spoke about teenage marriage, yet married an 18 year old adamawa princess

Spoke about over population in the North yet married 4 wives while Sultan has just one, even as a grandfather he is still impregnating his wives without guarantee he would live long to even train them


.

U

why accusing Dss and police before

You are far too big for just one state to manage (considering your vast knowledge in economics and nation building policy); the world needs you.

Welcome to the world, #Explore.

What If all of this dethronement katakata is just a conspiracy to draw sympathy towards Sanusi for his presidential ambition, since a king can't become the president







This people matter dey very confusing.

It is a pity that all this has befall on him, but if its the hand of karma, i have nothing to blame God, he'' will lead him to the promises land.

And some people here were blaming buhari for dethroning him..
