The Director-General, Media and Communications to the Kano State Government, Salihu Yakasai, had also announced the dethronement on his Twitter handle: @Dawisu, on Monday.
Yakassai tweeted: “The Kano State Executive Council has unanimously approved the dethronement of the Emir of Kamo Mallam Muhammad Sanusi II at a special sitting held today by the council.”
