El-Rufai on Friday afternoon arrived Awe Local Government where Sanusi is currently residing.

Due to heavy security presence journalists were only allowed to stay 200 metres away from the place.

Recall that Sanusi II was sacked by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje on Monday after falling prey to political intrigues.

The dethroned Emir was sent on exile to Nasarawa State, hours after the Secretary to the Kano State Government, Usman Alhaji, announced his removal.

“Clearly, some people are ignorant of how dethronement works. When an Emir is dethroned, he is sent to exile in a remote location and will basically be under house arrest and won’t have access to visitors. A person under this circumstance will be after his freedom and not the next election,” he tweeted.
