The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission has invited the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi, to appear before it on Thursday to further answer questions over alleged misappropriation of N3.4 billion by the Kano emirate council under his watch.
This comes two weeks after a Federal High Court in Kano dismissed the preliminary report of the state anti-graft agency which recommended the suspension of Sanusi, pending investigations into alleged financial misappropriation of the emirate’s funds.
Sanusi had asked the court to declare that the findings of the commission contained in its preliminary report issued on June 6, 2019, were a breach of his fundamental right to fair hearing and contrary to the rules of natural justice.
A top official of the commission told The Cable that the monarch was given 24 hours to appear before the agency.
Sanusi has been having a running battle with Abdullahi Ganduje, the governor.
Ganduje had created four more emirates in Kano, seen by many as a move to undermine Sanusi.
It was alleged that Sanusi worked against the reelection of Ganduje during the 2019 election.
