Confirming the development, a statement signed by Alhaji Usman Alhaji, Kano's secretary to the state government said the emir was dethroned over disrespect to the office of the governor.
The state government later announced Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, the son of Sanusi's predecessor, as the new emir for the ancient town.
