This is how they report it:
The center appears
on the verge of collapse at the Emir palace in Kano State for the newly crowned
Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi – Emir Muhammadu Sunusi II. This is
following information available to 247ureports.com obtained from a competent
source within the security quarters in Kano indicating that all is not well
with the occupant of the seat of Emir of Kano.
As gathered, the occupant of the seat of Emir of Kano is reported to
have been placed under suicide watch.
Shortly after
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi’s controversial ascension to the seat of Emir on June 8,
2014, of which some believed was a politically motivated appointment by the
governor of Kano State, the occupant of the seat of Emir began exhibiting
symptoms of severe clinical depression. The symptoms reportedly grew worse.
According to our source, the occupant of the Emir’s seat began having thoughts
of suicide. “He is suicidal. He is secretly being watched by his close aides”,
said the source.
The source pointed
particular attention to the nature of the seat of Emir as being highly
spiritual and/or traditional. “Not anyone can just mount the seat because he
can or because he has political connections with the high ups” noted the source
who went to explain that the former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Sanusi
Lamido Sanusi may have not been the rightful heir to the throne of Emir of Kano
in the traditional sense as understood by the elders and handlers of the
traditional stool. He pointed to long laid down custom of selecting an Emir
after the death of Emir. According to the source, when an Emir lasts in the
office of Emir for up to 50years, his first son ascends to the throne automatically
without contest.
Malam Sanusi
Lamido Sanusi is the grandson of Muhammadu Sunusi, the 11th Fulani Emir of
Kano. His grandfather however did not last up to 50 years at the throne.
“Ado Bayero was
Emir for over 50 years”, continued the source. The elders and handlers of the
stool were aware of the customs and were prepared to crown the son of Ado
Bayero when the Governor of Kano intervened. He added that the former CBN
governor’s name was not among the names recommended by the handlers of the
traditional stool to the governor for crowning as Emir. “They don’t know the
repercussions”.
Another source near
the activities at the palace spoke to 247ureports.com. The source pointed to
the silence from the other first class Emirs over the coronation of Sanusi
Lamido Sanusi as Emir of Kano. He stated that none of the Emirs sent
congratulatory messages to the new occupant of the seat of Emir of Kano. He
explained that there was a deliberate decision by the Emirs to refrain from
congratulating the Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the new Emir of Kano. The source
however downplayed that the Emir was feeling suicidal while adding that Sanusi
Lamido Sanusi appeared a little pale. Another source from a popular political
family, the Yankassi family in Kano who is considered a family friend to the
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi family also called the claim of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi being
clinically depressed false.
In his words “Very untrue. In fact I just came out from a
meeting with him and he looks very stable with sound mind”.
The story however begins to get dodgier from this paragraph:
It remains
uncertain the health status of the occupant of the Emir’s seat in Kano. Many
within the palace contacted by 247ureports.com declined to speak on the health
status of the man, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. Then those who call this site a
hatchet tool for the Jonathan administration will note this
But feelers coming
out of the presidency in Abuja indicate that Sanusi Lamido Sanusi’s problems
may just be beginning. A very credible source indicates that the Jonathan
administration has launched a broad investigation into the activities of the
former CBN governor. Three anti-graft commissions are said to be tasked with
the investigation. The source explained that the uncanny silence on the part of
the new Emir has to do with the new unearthed information on his financial
activities while at the realm of activities at the CBN. One of the many damning
information uncovered included the acquisition of an Islamic Bank – while still
at the CBN top seat. There are also unclear links discovered by security operatives
to groups in Sudan suspected to be securing funds for violent Jihadist
operations across the African continent.
And, ay yes, after line and line of speculation, they end
with this?
This remains
unverified.
