The dethroned emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, has reportedly left his residence in Loko, a town in Nasarawa state, where he was banished to.

The Nation reports that Sanusi, shortly after arriving the town, was airlifted in a helicopter to another town, Awe, also in Nasarawa.

The newspaper notes that there has been no official word on why he was relocated.

Legit.ng had earlier reported that the former monarch arrived Nasarawa about 2:30am on Tuesday morning, March 10, alongside his convoy.

He first landed at the Abuja airport after taking off from Aminu Kano international airport on Monday and from there he headed to Nasarawa where he was banished to.

Meanwhile, the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), a political and cultural group in the north, has reacted to the removal of Emir Sanusi by calling for calm among aggrieved camps in Kano state.

Legit.ng earlier reported that in what sent a massive wave of shock to the spine of concerned Nigerians, Governor Abdullahi Umari Ganduje-led government dethroned Sanusi as Kano monarch.

Sanusi's dethronement was finalised during state's council executive meeting presided over by the Kano governor, on Monday, March 9.

However, the elders of Kano state under the auspices of Advocates for a United Kano have condemned Sanusi's dethronement as the Emir of Kano.

The elders vowed to challenge what it described as the brazen acts of illegality perpetrated by the government of the state.

In a statement signed on Monday, March 9, the chairman of the elders’ group, Bashir Othman-Tofa described the dethronement as sad, unfortunate and illegal.

“The advocates call on all Kanawa and residents of Kano state and beyond to stay calm, and not to resort to any violent reaction whatsoever. Violence is no solution to anything, for no one can predict where it may lead to,” the statement read in part.
