Buhari told to declare Miyetti Allah terrorist group

In a terse press statement sent to journalists on Saturday, March 7, the group frowned at the implication of the allegations on the Muslim Ummah across the country.

It will be recalled that the Kano State Anti-Corruption and Public Complaints Commission had issued an invitation for the Emir to appear before it on the 9th of March 2020 for interrogations.

Emir Sanusi, however, approached a Kano High court to get an interim injunction restraining the Kano commission from investigating him.

According to the Muslim group, “the Emir should stop playing the ostrich and come out to clear his name. He should stop running around like a headless chicken and face the numerous allegations levelled against him.

“He should stop forcing the commission to release the names of the whistleblowers and jeopardize the investigation.

“It was the Emir that called our former President Goodluck Jonathan for allegations of corruption, now he is now neck-deep in the diversion of public resources and selling of public property. He should save himself from disgrace.”
