After its investigations, the anti-corruption agency recommended the suspension of the emir, saying it uncovered that N3.4 billion was misspent by the emirate under Sanusi. The amount was said to have been misappropriated between 2014 and 2017. Ganduje queries Sanusi Following the recommendation of the anti-corruption agency, Ganduje issued a query to the emir. The office of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) issued the letter on behalf of the governor. Munir Sanusi, the chief of staff to Kano emir, confirmed the receipt of the letter, saying the emir was asked to respond within 48 hours. “We received the query today (Thursday, June 6). The state government has demanded the response of His Highness within 48 hours. The council is studying the content,” he said. He said the emirate council is studying the content of the query issued to the monarch. The Kano emir was issued the query letter less than two days after he and Ganduje shook hands and prayed together during the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
