Before being taken away by heavy Security Personnel of DSS, Police, and Military, Emir Sanusi was put under house arrest with the Palace sealed off by the armed security operatives.
It was gathered that the security operatives are heading to Nassarawa state where Sanusi will spend the rest of his life in an asylum.

An impeccable source in the Government House had hinted that the governor, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, who is currently presiding over an emergency Executive Council Meeting, will announce the new emir soon.
Although there is no tentative person to be appointed, speculations are rife that the governor will announce Emir of Bichi, Aminu Ado Bayero to replace the embattled Sanusi.
Recall that Ganduje announced the removal of the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria over disrespect to constituted authorities, an act contrary to part 3, section 13 of the Kano State Emirate Law 2019.
It was gathered that the names of some powerful aristocrats with a direct lineage to the Palace were tabled before Ganduje, who has the constitutional powers to appoint an Emir.
The Source hints that Emir of Bichi Aminu Ado Bayero one of the Sons of late Emir Ado Bayero might be crowned the 16th Fulani Emir of Kano.
