Dethronement of emir sanusi is unconstitutional human rights lawyer says

It appears that there is a controversy surrounding the removal of Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi from his position as the Emir of Kano. A human rights lawyer has come out to say that the dethronement of Emir Sanusi is unconstitutional.

Here's a summary of the situation:

Emir Sanusi was removed from his position as the Emir of Kano by the Kano State Government on March 9, 2020. The government cited "disrespect to the office of the Governor" and "insubordination" as reasons for his removal.

However, a human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has come out to say that the dethronement of Emir Sanusi is unconstitutional. Falana argued that the Emir's removal was a violation of his fundamental human rights, including his right to freedom of association and his right to dignity.

Falana also argued that the Kano State Government did not follow due process in removing the Emir, as required by the Nigerian Constitution. He stated that the Emir was not given a fair hearing before his removal and that the decision was taken without following the necessary procedures.

The controversy surrounding Emir Sanusi's removal has sparked widespread debate and criticism, with many Nigerians calling for his reinstatement. The Emir has also denied any wrongdoing and has accused the Kano State Government of political persecution.

It will be interesting to see how this controversy plays out in the coming days and weeks.
