Presidency Has Ordered Police To Arrest Emir Sanusi Lamido

Information coming from Kano is very troubling as the Presidency is said to be taking its desperation to far this time. The Nigerian police have been ordered to arrest the newly-crowned Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi on fraud-related charges stemming from his tenure as Governor of the CBN.

According to reliable sources at the Presidency in Abuja, the team of policemen at the Emir’s palace in Kano had received the order from the Nigeria Police headquarters in Abuja to place Emir Sanusi under arrest if and when he leaves the Kano State Governor’s lodge for the palace.

Already top northern leaders who have gotten wind of the wicked plan have warned President Jonathan to avoid such a reckless action for his good but the question is, will he listen?

Sources told Sahara Reporters that Emir Sanusi was to be arrested at his private home on Sunday night after his appointment was announced by the Kano State Governor but the move was frustrated. It would be recalled that the presidency embarked on several frantic measures to frustrate his emergence as Emir, including the premature congratulations by PDP to one of the candidates before the choice was announced.

Since becoming Emir of Kano, Sanusi has been inside the Kano State governor’s lodge, receiving visitors and undertaking traditional rites.

Many respected Nigerians have been advising Jonathan to follow back channels to settle with Emir Sanusi.
