Emir Sanusi’s Chief Of Staff Faces Arrest

Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi’s Chief of Staff, Mannir Sanusi and two others are in big trouble as a Chief Magistrates’ Court in Kano has ordered their arrest.

We gathered that the three were dragged before the court by the Kano State Public Complainant and Anti-corruption Commission for failing to honour its invitation in a N4 billion fraud investigation against the Emir of Kano.

Chief Magistrate, Mohammed Idris ordered the arrest of Sanusi, who holds the traditional title of Damburan Kano, Mujitaba Abba and the Accountant of Kano Emirate Council, Sani Muhammad-Kwaru, over their alleged refusal to honour the commission’s invitation.

The commission wrote to the court seeking an order of arrest against the three palace officials.

Idris consequently issued and signed the arrest warrant sequel to a motion by Salisu Tahir, Chief State counsel. Tahir said that the request was based on the provision of Section 38 of the enabling Law establishing the Commission.

We learnt that the Commission had invited four people in connection with the allegation, of which only one person, Isa Bayero, a.k.a Isa Pilot, who was a former Scribe to the Emirate Council, honoured the invitation.

However, Chairman of the commission, Mr Muhiyi Magaji said the three persons that have arrest warrant on their heads are the principal suspects in the case. He said the commission had already requested security operatives to enforce the order and arrest the three persons.
