We didn’t banish former Kano Emir, Sanusi, security agents did – Kano govt
The Attorney General said when the Emir was deposed, the statement confirming his deposition which was read by the Secretary to the State Government, Usman Alhaji did not utter the word “banished”.
But Mukthar vehemently disassociated the state government from the banishment of the emir, saying it was neither initiated nor executed by the administration of Governor Ganduje. He dismissed the allegations by counsel to the former Emir, A. B. Mahmoud, SAN who had alleged that the fundamental human rights of the deposed Emir were been infringed upon, stressing that the state government solely executed an administrative role.
He argued that the security operatives may have been acting to protect the palace, the families domicile in the palace, and further posited that they also may have acted to ensure the safety of the deposed Emir.
