The Kano State House of Assembly has set up an eight-man ad-hoc committee to investigate the allegations of mismanaging the sum of N4 billion which was leveled against the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II. The Emir was said to inherited the money from his predecessor, late Alhaji Dr. Ado Bayero.
A member of the Assembly representing Nasarawa constituency of the state, Ibrahim Gama, moved a motion to probe the monarch at the House plenary today, Wednesday.
Gama said that some of the allegations against Emir Sanusi, who was former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), ought to be looked into.
He listed them as spending funds without the approval of the Governor of Kano, Umar Ganduje, attacking President Muhammadu Buhari’s polices and sending his daughter to represent him without wearing full traditional regalia.
The house adopted the motion after it was put to voice vote by the Speaker, Alhassan Rurum.
Labaran Abdul Madar, the chief whip of the house, will chair the committee. [myad]
