Why police forced Sanusi out of palace – Official
The Kano State government has spoken on why it used security operatives to ‘force’ Muhammed Sanusi out of his palace Monday after his dethronement as Emir of Kano.
Mr Yakasai said if the dethroned emir had humbled himself and left the palace immediately he was briefed, there would not have been any “drama.” “At the initial stage, the emir wasn’t willing to leave the palace and that was why you saw what we saw with the security forces and what have you. If he had left willingly, I don’t think you would have seen such a reaction from the security apparatus,” he said.Speaking on why Mr Sanusi’s removal became necessary, Mr Yakasai said no government in power would condone his criticism.
