How emir sanusi was forced into exile in nasarawa against his will legal team

Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II, the former Emir of Kano, was not forced into exile in Nasarawa against his will. In fact, he was removed from his position as Emir of Kano by the Kano State Government on March 9, 2020, and subsequently banished to Loko in Nasarawa State.

The removal and banishment of Emir Sanusi was a result of a long-standing feud between him and the Kano State Government, which was led by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje. The feud was sparked by Emir Sanusi's criticism of the government's handling of various issues, including corruption and the management of the state's resources.

In the months leading up to his removal, Emir Sanusi had been at odds with Governor Ganduje over a number of issues, including the emir's alleged interference in the state's politics and his criticism of the government's policies. The tension between the two came to a head in February 2020, when Emir Sanusi was summoned to the government house in Kano and asked to resign. When he refused, he was removed from his position and banished to Loko in Nasarawa State.

Emir Sanusi's legal team has challenged his removal and banishment in court, arguing that it was unlawful and unconstitutional. In July 2020, the Kano State High Court ruled in favor of Emir Sanusi, ordering his reinstatement as Emir of Kano. However, the Kano State Government has appealed the ruling, and the case is currently pending before the Court of Appeal.

It's worth noting that Emir Sanusi has been living in Loko, Nasarawa State, since his removal and has been receiving treatment for a medical condition. He has also been involved in various activities, including philanthropic work and advocacy for social and economic development in Nigeria.
