Embattled Kano Emir, Sanusi Lamido says “I’ll Answer Ganduje’s Query”

Munir Sanusi, chief of staff to Muhammadu Sanusi, emir of Kano, says the emirate council is studying the content of the query issued to the monarch.


The office of the secretary to the state government (SSG) had issued a query to Sanusi on behalf of Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of the state.


A source had informed that the query was on alleged financial misappropriation.
The chief of staff confirmed the receipt of the letter, saying the emir was asked to respond within 24 hours.


The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-corruption Commission had recommended the suspension of the emir after probing the emirate.


The agency said it uncovered that N3.4 billion was misspent under Sanusi. The amount was said to have been misappropriated between 2014 and 2017.
