Sanusi lawyer issues kano government 24 hour ultimatum to release him

It appears that there is a developing story in Kano, Nigeria. According to reports, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, a former Emir of Kano and current lawyer, has issued a 24-hour ultimatum to the Kano State Government to release him from detention.

Sanusi was arrested on March 26, 2021, by the Kano State Police Command for allegedly making inflammatory comments against the government. He was subsequently detained at the police headquarters in Kano.

In a statement issued by his lawyer, Abdulhakeem Mustapha, Sanusi is demanding his immediate release, citing lack of evidence against him and the violation of his fundamental human rights.

The statement reads: "Our client, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has been detained for 24 hours without any lawful justification. Despite his repeated requests to be released, he has been refused bail and is still being held in detention.

"We hereby give the Kano State Government a 24-hour ultimatum to release our client from detention. Failure to do so, we will be left with no option than to take all necessary legal actions to secure his release."

It is unclear what the Kano State Government's response will be to Sanusi's ultimatum. However, this development is likely to attract widespread attention and scrutiny, given Sanusi's high profile and the sensitive nature of the issue.

I will continue to monitor this story and provide updates as more information becomes available.
