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 revealed 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.
“We received the query today
(Thursday). The state government has demanded the response of His Highness
within 24 hours. The council is studying the content,” he said.
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.
The government of Ganduje had
earlier broken the emirate into five, stripping Sanusi of the control of 34
local government areas.
Ganduje is believed to be getting
back at Sanusi who reportedly worked against his reelection.
The governor had denied the
allegation, saying his actions were in the interest of the people.
