Muhammadu Sanusi II, Emir of Kano,
has suspended Bashir Ado Bayero, a son of his predecessor, Emir Ado Bayero for
alleged disloyalty.
The Emir of
Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi 11, has suspended another son of his predecessor,
Emir Ado Bayero for disloyalty,
The
suspended son is Alhaji Bashir Ado Bayero, the District Head of Takai
Local Government, Alhaji Bashir Ado Bayero.
The
suspended district head was also directed to appear before the palace
disciplinary committee to decide the next line of action against him.
In the
meantime, Sanusi has appointed Alhaji Mahmud Shattima as an interim
administrator for the district, pending the recommendations of the disciplinary
committee.
Bashir Ado
Bayero is the second son of the late emir to be stripped of power since
the demise of their father. The first was the Ciroman Kano, Alhaji Sanusi Ado
Bayero, who was removed on October 28, 2015 for a similar offence.
The Emirate
Council’s Chief of Staff, Alhaji Munir Sanusi, said Bayero’s suspension
followed his disrespect to the emir during one of the palace sittings.
“The
suspended district head came to the palace one day to seek permission to travel
to Saudi Arabia for medical check-up and after the emir granted his request, he
then submitted the name of the person he wanted to supervise the district in
his absence.
“But the
emir rejected the name and directed him to notify the office of Wakilin Gabas
of the trip so that he would appoint someone to supervise the district. It was
at that point that Bayero showed disrespect to the emir in the presence of
everybody, including the Dogarai,” he added.
