THEWILL recalls that the secretary to the state government Usman Alhaji, at the State Executive Council meeting which held at the Government House in Kano, announced Sanusi’s removal which he said was with immediate effect.
Alhaji explained that the state government took the decision to remove the traditional ruler over allegations of consistently refusing to abide by instructions given to him.
