BREAKING: Kano Police Vow To Obey Order Against Sanusi’s Reinstatement

Published

on

The Kano State Police Command has affirmed its commitment to abiding by the court’s directive, which prohibits the Kano State government from enforcing the repealed law governing the Kano Emirates Council.

Recall that a Federal High Court in Kano had issued an ex-parte order on Thursday, restraining Governor Abba Yusuf from reinstating Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II.

This order also halted the implementation of the new law that dissolved the four emirates of Bichi, Gaya, Karaye, and Rano.

Despite this, Governor Abba Yusuf contested the order while issuing a reappointment letter to Sanusi on Friday, citing that the judge issued it from the United States.

After leading Jumu’ah prayers at the Government House, Emir Sanusi proceeded to the palace.

However, shortly after his arrival, the supposedly deposed Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, returned to the state and took up residence in a mini-palace.

Governor Yusuf promptly ordered his arrest, accusing the monarch he wanted  to depose of exacerbating tensions.

Speaking at a press briefing at the command headquarters on Saturday morning, Commissioner of Police Usaini Mohammed Gumel issued a stern warning to troublemakers, urging them to avoid stirring up unrest.

“Therefore, we are calling on members of the public to know that the Police in the State is working together with the military and other security agencies and are with full capacity for providing the adequate security to everyone as we are committed to carrying out our statutory duties as provided by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

He emphasized that the law-abiding citizens of Kano are renowned for their esteemed cultural heritage and respect for lawful authorities.

He urged them to maintain calmness, patience, and to continue cooperating with security agencies, assuring that the issue at hand would be addressed by the Court on June 3, 2024.

Additionally, he reiterated that the legal stance is unequivocal, stating that anyone found attempting to disturb the peace in the state, regardless of their pretext, would be subjected to the full force of the law.

He added “Therefore, as the Police Command is leading other security agencies to sustain the peace and peaceful coexistence for overriding interests, miscreants should stay clear of violence in all its ramifications and should not take advantage or hijack the current situation to launch unprovoked attack on people, property and infrastructure of the State.

“Any person found with such a tendency will be ruthlessly dealt with according to the law of the land.”

In his words, “My idol takes about 73 to 76 women for over seven years. These women are always gotten from the club or other popular places. When I eat people, it is purposely to renew the voodoo in my body. Sometimes, when I’m shot, it won’t penetrate, even when I’m hacked, the machete breaks. The sweetest human parts are tongue, palm, and foot.”

The cannibal then used the mystical powers for nefarious activities including supporting others, including politicians, business people, and high flying career people, like bank managers, in the quest to accomplish ulterior motives.

“I also work for bank managers, politicians, and some other rich men. I’m very popular among them. When I first worked with a bank manager, it was one wealthy man that we killed and the info was supplied in the bank.

“The only person who was left to sign refused to sign, we visited him, made him sign, and killed him aftermath. I charge up to N50 to N80 million to get people killed and we always work as a team. I taught some people to work, some as highway or armed robbers and I usually get my fair share,” he added.

He formally sought anonymity until the right time, and gave graphic details of what he and his boys did to influence outcome of elections in Oyo State.

On his early days, the mysterious man confessed that he has been eating sacrifices since the age of nine as the son of an herbalist, from which he added hired assassin and highway robbery to his trade.

“As a child of an herbalist, I always eat sacrifices in seven different junctions, this was what fortified me before I grew up to become a dreaded hired assassin and sometimes, highway robber,” he confessed.

On how he turned a new leaf, the man said he met Jesus in his dream after he attempted to avenge people who earlier fought with him.

According to him, “I had been killed before but I woke up because of the idol I had at home. The day I went to retaliate those people who fought and killed me. When we got to the first person, I had a change of mind. When we got to the house of the other one, he was drunk, and my boy was about to unleash on him when I begged that he should be spared, since then, I have been sympathetic and have left the wayward life. Now, God has taken over my life.

“I am now in a seminary. I spent four years learning to be a prophet. I am not ready to establish a church. I just want people to know my terrible story. I had sold all three houses and cars I bought while engaging in these acts. I met Jesus in my dream.”

He also stressed that a former lawmaker in the House of Representatives, Temitope Olatoye (a.k.a. Sugar) died because he was in Ghana at that time if not it would have been averted, adding that he had always informed Sugar of the dangers looming.

Recall that Sugar died on March 9, 2019, in the Intensive Care Unit of the University College Hospital, after suffering bullet wounds in the head from shots of suspected political thugs in the Lalupon area of Ibadan.

The public is still wondering at the speed with which the news of his attack spread, the tales in the locality being that Sugar died on the spot.
