Emir Sanusi’s Dethronement: Gov. Ganduje was lawless, abused power – HURIWA
The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has lambasted the Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje for “hurriedly dethroning the powerful Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi despite pending litigation before a court of competent jurisdiction.
The dethronement was disclosed by the State Secretary to the Government, Usman Alhaji, who stated that Sanusi was removed for his total disrespect for the lawful instructions of government and the lawful authorities. The rights group insisted that Sanusi’s removal was a “resort to crude self-help measures since the embattled Emir was already in the Kano state High Court challenging his invitation by the Kano state House of Assembly over so-called allegations of corruption.”
“As someone who swore an oath of office not to undermine the Nigerian constitution, we urge the Kano state governor to immediately revoke the dethronement and let the matters in courts run their full courses.
