The appointment of an emir is not a political issue. It is unfortunate that some enemies of
Kano State attempted to politicise this process."
Meanwhile, according to another report on PremiumTimes,
Sanusi had on Sunday narrowly escaped being arrested by security
operatives at his personal residence in Kano hours after he was
appointed to the coveted throne. A source who declined to be named for
security reasons told PremiumTimes that the Kano state Government
hurriedly sneaked Mr. Sanusi out of his personal residence after
receiving intelligence that the Federal Government was allegedly
plotting to arrest him to stop him from being turbaned.
