Dethroned Emir Sanusi II Vows to Take Legal Action Against Kano State Government
In a shocking turn of events, the deposed Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has vowed to take legal action against the Kano State Government for his dethronement.
Sanusi II, who was removed from his position as Emir of Kano on March 9, 2020, has been vocal about his opposition to the decision, calling it "unconstitutional" and "unjust".
In a statement issued by his counsel, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), Sanusi II has vowed to challenge his dethronement in court, citing "gross violation of his fundamental human rights".
The statement reads: "Our client, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has been advised by his lawyers to take legal action against the Kano State Government for his dethronement. The decision to dethrone him was taken without due process and in violation of his fundamental human rights".
Fagbemi added that Sanusi II's dethronement was "unconstitutional" and "unjust", and that he has been "denied his right to a fair hearing".
The Kano State Government had announced Sanusi II's dethronement on March 9, 2020, citing "insubordination" and "disrespect" towards the government.
Sanusi II, who was previously the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has been a vocal critic of the government's policies and has been involved in several controversies.
The development has sparked widespread reactions, with many calling for Sanusi II's reinstatement as Emir of Kano.
