New details have emerged on why the Kano State House of
Assembly, suspended its ongoing probe of the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Muhammadu II.
Last week, the state anti-corruption agency had also
suspended its probe into alleged misappropriated N6bn of the Emirate’s funds.
Speaker of the House of Assembly, Kabiru Alhassan Rurum, has
now revealed that Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, Ibrahim Babangida, former
military president Abdulsalami Abubakar, former head of state; Sa’ad Abubakar,
sultan of Sokoto, Aliko Dangote, billionaire businessman pleaded on Sanusi’s
behalf.
Rurum also told the House on Monday, that Kano State
Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje had written a letter seeking the suspension of
the probe of the Emir.
He said Ganduje pleaded with the lawmakers to suspend the
investigation.
The Kano State House of Assembly eventually approved the
governor’s plea unanimously.
