Amnesty International calls on Nigerian authorities to respect the human rights of former Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II; his to right to dignity, freedom of expression and freedom of movement.
5. I believe Ganduje & his crowd know this, but they chose to violate the law because they are notorious for disregarding any law or judgement that doesn’t suit them. Their likes have turned Nigeria into a Banana Republic. They’re why Nigerians lost faith in the rule of law.
1. The purported removal of Emir Sanusi is unconstitutional, unlawful & illegal. The Kano State Govt asserted in its Press Release that he’s dethroned for insubordination. By section 36 of the Constitution & the natural justice principle of audi alteram partem, a person accused..
4. The law made last year by Ganduje, under which Emir Sanusi was purportedly removed, doesn’t make provisions relating to fair hearing. In this sense, the law has contradicted the Constitution and by Section 1 of the Constitution, any law that contravenes it is illegal and void.
