The head pastor of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman has condemned dethronement and subsequent detention of former Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.
The Kano State Executive Council under the chairmanship of His Excellency, the governor of Kano, Dr Abdullahi Gandujerecently approved the immediate removal/dethronement of the Emir of Kano Emirate, Muhammad Sanusi II.
Against the backdrop of this development, the former Central Bank Governor was banished from Kano to a town in Nasarawa State.
The exiled Emir Sanusi was relocated to Awe town by the Nasarawa State Government.
Reacting to the developments in a post on Twitter, Apostle Suleman said though Governor Ganduje has the powers to dethrone Sanusi, but has “no right to detain” the former Emir.
He wrote:
“I can understand the dethronement of the former emir of kano.
“What I don’t understand is the detention, over what?
A governor has right to depose a traditional ruler but has no right to detain anyone who has not committed an offence. Disrespecting a governor is not a criminal offence.”
