On the heels of the orders of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, the Kaduna State Governor, Nasiru El-Rufai, has said that the dethroned Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi is on his way to Lagos State.

Governor Nasiru El-Rufai told journalists on Friday during his visit to Awe where Sanusi was banished that the dethroned Emir will be leaving for Lagos through Abuja.

The Emir’s release from detention comes after the Federal High Court granted an interim order freeing Sanusi from house arrest.

The ruling judge in the case, Justice Anwuli Chikere granted the order in line with the prayers on the exparte motion filed on behalf of the deposed Emir by Mr. Lateef Fagbemi (SAN).

Governor El-Rufai had led Sanusi hours after the court order and later accompanied the dethroned emir to Abuja from Nasarawa where he is expected to take a flight down to Lagos.
