A former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, has debunked reports that deposed Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, may have relocated to Lagos.
News made rounds online, on Thursday, that the former monarch has arrived Lagos from Awe, a suburb of Nasarawa State, to where he was banished.
However, the former minister on his Twitter page described the reports as ‘untrue’, adding that he had spoken with the former Central Bank of Nigeria governor, who confirmed that he was still in Awe.
Chidoka had written: “Contrary to speculations, Emir Sanusi confirmed to me that he is still in Awe, Nasarawa State.
“He is being held unconstitutionally and illegally and no agency of government is taking responsibility for his unlawful arrest.
“A track record of violating fundamental rights is upon us.”
