The House of Representatives hinted on Tuesday that it might intervene in the ongoing probe of the Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II, by the Kano State House of Assembly.

The state assembly had on May 10 constituted an 8-member panel to probe Emir Sanusi over alleged abuse of office and improper conduct, among other allegations.

The state assembly’s action came barely weeks after the state anti-corruption agency launched an investigation into allegations of financial impropriety running into billions of naira leveled against the emir.

But coming under a point of order (personal explanation) at plenary, Rep Aliyu Sani Madaki (APC, Kano) drew the attention of the House to the impending crisis that the probe might throw the entire Kano State into, calling on the House to intervene. (Daily Trust)
