Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has issued a query to Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II over alleged financial misappropriation.
It was learnt that the query was issued on Wednesday by the office of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) on behalf of Mr Ganduje.
The query comes days after Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-corruption Commission recommended Sanusi’s suspension.
The commission alleged that over N3.4 billion was misappropriated under Kano Emirate which is overseen by Sanusi.
It also alleged that the said amount was misappropriated between 2014 and 2017.
Sanusi’s Chief of Staff, Munir Sanusi, confirming receipt of the query, said the state government sought the response of the emir within 24 hours.
“We received the query today (Thursday). The state government has demanded the response of His Highness within 24 hours. The council is studying the content,” he said.
Ganduje and Sanusi had on Tuesday shook hands and shared laughs at the Eid praying ground to mark Eid-el-Fitr.
