emir-of-kano-sanusi-lamido-sanusiThe Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, has distanced himself from any Facebook, Twitter or any other social media account opened and operated under his name.

The emir’s position was contained in a statement on Thursday by the Kano Emirate Council.

The statement, signed by the Dan Majen Kano, Munnir Sanusi, urged people to desist from posting statements on social media using the emir’s name.

The Dan Majen lamented that fraudsters open social media accounts in other to demean the person of the emir by posting provocative and misleading statements.

“Recently, the people operating the Facebook account announced to the public that the emir is issuing free Hajj seats to some four hundred Nigerians which is not coming from neither the emir nor the Kano emirates”, he said.

He also said a twitter handle in the name of the emir was frequently used to publish libelous statements in Mr. Sanusi’s name.
