The Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammad Sanusi ll has replied the query
issued to him by the Kano State government over alleged
misappropriation of N3.4bn.
The emir, in his reply signed by Alhaji Abba Yusuf, secretary to
the Kano State emirate council, said he inherited only N1.8bn in
the account of the emirate.
The letter, dated June 7, 2019, said: “You wish to know that, as
at the time His Highness was appointed Sarkin Kano, the exact
amount in the accounts of Kano emirate council was
N1,893,378,927.38.
“It is important to note that his Highness is not the accounting
officer of the Kano Emirate Council, but the Secretary of the
Council.”
The emir thanked the Kano State government for giving him the
opportunity to respond to all the allegations contained in the
report by the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption
Commission.
It would be recalled that the Kano State Anti-Graft Agency, in
its report, accused the emir and four other staff of Kano Emirate
council of misappropriating N3.4bn.
