The Kano State government has removed the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, from office.

Usman Alhaji, the secretary to the State Government has announced the remover of Sanusi as the Emir of Kano.

The announcement was made on Monday at the State Executive Council meeting which held at the Government House in Kano.

Alhaji explained that the state government took the decision to remove the traditional ruler over allegations of consistently refusing to abide by instructions given to him.

The Kano State Public Complaint and Anti-Corruption Commission had summoned the Emir to respond to a petition accusing him of selling lands belonging to the Kano Emirate to the tune of N2 billion.
