Lamido Sanusi II has eventually arrived Lagos, signifying an end to his detention in Awe community, Nasarawa State, Nigeria.
Emir Sanusi’s removal was confirmed on March 9 by Kano State Secretary to the Government, Usman Alhaji, who alleged that he disrespected the lawful instructions from the office of the Governor and lawful authorities. The Kano monarch was also accused of persistently refusing to attend official meetings and programmes organized by the government without any lawful justification.
Sanusi II was driven from Awe, Nasarawa state, to Abuja in company of Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State after a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja granted an interim order releasing him from detention in Nasarawa.
His airplane departed Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport in Abuja by 10:47pm.
