Sanusi is in my palace but no one will speak with him – Nasarawa monarch

Muhammadu Sanusi II, the dethroned emir of Kano, arrived at Loko, a town in Nasarawa state, in the early hours of Tuesday, March 10.

The Herald gathered that Abubakar Ahmed Sabo, traditional ruler of Loko, confirmed the development.

Sanusi was banished from Kano and sent into exile in Nasarawa following his dethronement on Monday by the Kano state government.

Sabo, who said the former emir arrived at his palace at 3 am, said nobody would be allowed to speak with him.

According to him, “Yes, Emir Sanusi is in my palace. He arrived this morning around 3 a.m., but no one will be allowed to speak with him.”

Earlier, The Herald reported that security operatives arrested dethroned Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II.

It was gathered that the security operatives are heading to Nasarawa state where Sanusi will spend the rest of his life in asylum.
