- SANUSI'S DETHRONEMENT, BANISHMENT, RESTRICTION OF MOVEMENT AND DETENTION ARE ILLEGAL
Yesterday, the Kano state government held an executive council meeting presided over by Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje. At the said meeting the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was accused of having disrespected the Governor by not attending official meetings and displaying utter disdain for constituted authority.
And without giving the Emir any opportunity to react to the allegations the executive council tried him, found him guilty and announced his removal from the throne. Apart from deposing the Emir without affording him the opportunity to defend himself Governor Ganduje was the accuser, the prosecutor, witness and judge at the inquisition which lasted for about 5 minutes. At the end of the inquisition the accused was convicted and sentenced to dethronement. As if the reckless violations of the Emir's right to fair hearing were not sufficient Governor Ganduje proceeded to order the indefinite restriction of the deposed Emir's movement and indefinite detention at Loko, Nasarawa State.
Thus, the fundamental rights of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi to personal liberty and freedom of movement guaranteed by sections 35 and 41 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended and article 6 and 12 of the African Charter on Human and People's Rights (Ratification and Enforcement Act Cap A9, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 have also been violated. Since the Kano state government lacks the power to abrogate the fundamental rights of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi without following a procedure permitted by law his banishment and detention in Nasarawa State are illegal in every material particular.
At the time the British colonial regime engaged in the dethronement, banishment, restriction of movement and detention of traditional rulers who opposed the looting of the resources of the colonial territory of Nigeria the fundamental rights of all colonial subjects were not recognised in spite of the much touted Magna Carta. Hence, some of the traditional rulers who were deposed and banished to remote islands abroad where they were killed. The Britain colonial regime got away with such atrocities because colonial powers at the material time operated outside the ambit of law and civilised standards. But under the current democratic dispensation in Nigeria no state government has the power to remove a traditional ruler and subject him to banishment and detention without following due process. Therefore, the Kano State Government should release Sanusi forthwith and allow him to contest his removal from the throne if he so desires.

WAOOOO....I AM OF THE OPINION THAT BOTH MR. PRESIDENT & ALL THE STATE GOVERNORS SHOULD ARRANGE TO BE COMING FOR LECTURES FROM MR. FEMI FALANA , BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY SAN IN NIGERIA WHO KNOWS HIS ONIONS.. GOD BLESS YOU SIR.
Only the senior advocate of Nigeria
Mr femi falana. Answers questions
If not 100% right
But 95% right
Sir. You are indeed a senior advocate
May God continue to bless you
I strongly advise that Mr Femi Falana should make his Library available to public
I so much respect this SAN
Thank you sir God bless mr. Falana San
I agree completely with Mr Falana. Sanusi was born into royalty and it was his turn to sit on the throne. First they reduced his territory and then they removed him because he will not bow to the so-called powers that be. Ado Bayero who is relative, a cousin has now replaced him. Wow!. I hope this will not bring animosity between Bayero and Sanusi. Someday that governor will no longer be in office and his power will be eroded. They are setting a precedent for other governors to do same in the States where the traditional rules will not lick their boots. Power corrupts, when death comes and you cannot escape, then you have absolutely no power. Sanusi has taken it well and he will do well, he's not an illiterate unlike some of those in 'power'. I wish him the best.
You've said it all man❤
Thanks so much for explanations.. Long live Falana
Long life sir you alone is san in Nigeria 🇳🇬
One vast legal luminary of our time, such a man should be a beacon of hope and inspiration to many always worth listening to this sound mind a blessing to our nation
One of the greatest man in Nigeria...Mr Falana Long life sir.
He is. I love to see him on screen. Like the only sense producer from the country.
Thank God for Baba Femi Falana San!
God Almighty be praised.
Great expo, God bless you sir , God will judge the colonizers
I like a man who says his Yes clearly and says his No just as clearly. It is so refreshing! Unlike politicians dancing up and down.
Interesting piece right from the panel of interviewers to the erudite scholar himself, Femi Falana. It's a 37mins of refreshing delight.
Please, how can intellectual people from diverse fields (i.e Finance, Law, economics, business etc) come together to form a party to rule Nigeria....Instead we have farmer from dawura heading us..Mr Falan, such a joy to listen to... Hats off Sir
Base on you explanation sir, it's understood that Sanusi operated on a wider gap relationship between him and the commoners under him.
I had always like listening to this man talk. i mean SAN.
How can a governor who has only 4years renewable for 8years, can come up to remove a traditional ruler who is to rule for life. Our traditional rulers should equally expect the position they occupied.
I always respect this man anywhere, he is our Fela, nothing more, no one like him...
We are in a very deep mess as a country. We only have a President that can not solve a problem, but creating more. Buhari.
PROF Ekpenisi:The problem IS not the president but Nigeria judicial system. It takes a while to solve a problem thru court. We have to use judicial system to solve the problem. Be patient.
The hard truth is that Nigeria ,is a nation where laws and order have no place ! We need a leader or group of leaders that would tke-over and restore law and order all over the country .
The more you grow older, the more you increase in wisdom.
Falana represent Ekiti intellectual IQ which they are known for as Fountain of Knowledge. Very versatile State and people
Sanusi 11 was a square peg in a square hole. When his grandfather was buried during the time of Alhaji Kabiru Gaya since then I believe anytime the stool become vacant it may fall on any of his children. Sanusi, emergence would cause an uproar.
Always an insightful experience listening to Mr Falana. May the future be kind to you sir.
SLS is a man of integrity, what ever anybody says🤷♂️
I blame the traditional rulers for allowing the government to use them as rubber stamp all the traditional rulers should stand up now and fight for their rights
May u leave live long sir.u are always speaking the fact.
God shall continue to bless you sir
Take-it-back...Sowore is the answer to Nigeria problems.
Yes so o Mr sowere for 2023
For God's sake. Let's be objective for once. Why is it that it's sowore everytime. Don't u know more than sowore.
Ibeere..Ask yourself na
your sowore may think of becoming president in 100 years to come someone that can't win local government chairman
Everyone is entitled to their opinions, afterall you sef don add voice for the matter. Well done!
The only SAN Nigeria
Long life to you our SAN . Nigeria needs you so much
God bless you sir, for this Jurisprudence
Lamido Sanisu speaks the truth...speaks for the poor and the rest of us
Nigerian has no law except power.
We lost Gani but thank God we still have Falana.
No one can be like gani
Was he comparing them ?
Mr. Falana IS great lawyer in Nigeria.
In north America English IS our day to day language. In most cases a lawyer has to talk alot to persuade the judge to accept his or her pleading..
Charles Amusan ,read my reply to your comment.
@@yisajibowu5421 not sure what the point of your comment is.
Something good will come out of this for sanusi. Some disappointments are a blessing
Sir Femi Falana SAN🔥🔥🔥
Highly great man Number one CBN man, we Nigerians respect Govnr SANUSI of CBN who is great Nigeria, all Nigerians give him respect O O, Nigerian president fr tomorrow ,we kill our own cultures fr niara. President Sanusi go free to all Nigeria land. God bless Sanusi & house holds. Greatman wth greathome Children's & wives
that is why i like your presentation and analysis. very straight and bitter, till the end when it becomes very very sweet. you are the only lawyer i believe in not the political and paddy paddy lawyers and judges.
Wonders shall never end.
it takes deep understanding of the human mind to understand the minds games of the fulani, i feel many folks in the south dont understand the fulani,they also underestimate them,hence lots of folks fall for it when they begin their Maradona games.Even in this issue been discussed here if you are born in the north one may look at it as a family having a family quarrel, when push really comes to shove,they will still stick together.
Joy Ofoni Their game playing continues
Long live San femi falana
Good talk sir
FEMI 4 PRESIDENT !! GOD BLESS SAN FALANA
Please sowore is in court...lets discuss that, these are all distractions
@Randy Osad If you are part of the fifth columnist by asking me this question, I ain't answering to you...otherwise for those that discern a distraction that don't need no explanations sir.
God bless you sir
I was in Nigeria when President Buhari begging Nigerians voters for top job. He promised Nigerians he will fight corruption. If he fails to do that, APC will lose the next election..
But he has the money to care for all his children
Things are falling apart and the center can no longer hold.
Sanusi ,God will defend you.
Amin
God will defend who? what goes around comes around he still have a case to answer for #2.2b land fraud
How does he always have ready information on everything>>
That's his job and he is good at it simple.
A poor man who compares himself to a rich man is a FOOL.....you don't have the money to feed yourself so why would you position yourself to have large family that you can't afford while the former emir has the financial means to support 4 wives alongside the children!!!!!
That is why they do not want to educate the girls because if the girls are not educated then a poor man can find 4 poor hungry women to flaunt his 30k salary.
A great lawyer indeed
I want to use this media to also present the same case issue with the emire of patigi kwara state, emire who came to sit without normal protoco and using there power since 88yrs only one group out of 4 royal family house as been rulling, for this reason thé other 3 royal house decide taking the issue to court over 2yrs now case still in court, i am speaking on be half of the 3 left royal house of patigi, i am also from the royal family and my grand father esu muazu Gana was the only emire we had from these 3 group, pls the federal govt should kindly intervain for natural justice, mohammed umar, milan Italy
Here we are in 2024
Prof' God be you, strengths you and be your refuge in Jesus Christ's name, amen.
Sowore and sanusi can come together and make a Nigeria a better country
You are a selfish man,do you think Yoruba own the country and everybody in it?
@@harryscott4543 no mind them.If not Hausa,it will be Yoruba.Does it mean other tribes don't have good people for leadership?
Harry Scott did anyone stop other tribes not to contest ??????
@@fullergibson9152 cuz u don't support them. You people are biased.In the SE for example we have the likes of Peter Obi,Chidoka,Soludo,Moghalu, David Umahi Moghalu etc who came out for president last year. Did you vote for him? Sanusi hasn't even declared his intention,but people have started shouting Sanusi Sanusi upandan
Sanusi is more useful to Nigeria as a president than an emir!!! He has the talent to save this corrupt country!!!
They want Sanusi to be president but we won't allow it. The presidency goes next to d south. U people should not be carried away by politician chess play
Who wants another Islamist for President? Has he publicly apologised or served his sentence for beheading the gentleman who was accused of desecrating the Koran during the Abacha days?
Caroline Gold God bless you. Nobody is talking about that now. That has been buried. All this farce is to position him for the Presidential office in 2023. As CBN Governor, he showed how sectarian he is. How long did it take for him to be given a position by one of his kind in Kaduna State. They are all in it together
We need Falana as the President of Nigeria or not less than chief judge of Nigeria with him in any of these office Nigeria will diffinatly be a better Nigeria.
Who is him
@@GreenStoneRealEstate”who is him”? haha! What kind of English is this?
Nigeria is really ambiguities
@8:00 what does sultan has to do with bad roads... I wonder 🤔. This lawless country Nigeria
"TINUBU HAS STAINED OUR NIGERIAN FLAG"
2025 we are good now Sanusi is back
That statement was from those who deposed him. He did not make it out of his own free will. What do you expect from a hostage?
One day God will take power from the governor who believe in God will surely see mess from God sanusi move on with glory
Look into the looked. I laugh, the major reason for his dethronement is yet to be known.
The law of the colonial master, banishment is still being practiced somewhere is Africa. Shameful!
It is not the 'law of the colonial master'. It is a law found in every statute book including that of the so-called colonial masters. Go to the American statutes and you will find it there.
Sanusi can MAINTAIN his wives and children; so Falana got it WRONG! According to him, Sanusi is against having children that you cannot take care of - but Sanusi can take care of his children!
Don't you know that Falana's mouth is always where his money is!
Clearly you were not listening.
@@omotboitayo8966 yes he's not
Naija,always a play ground!! Poor man don suffer
On the APC chairmanship saga and conflicting court orders, we're really living in interesting times, as the SAN has said!
Spot on, he just said it as it is. No respect for our traditional system
Jensenbaby . I think Mamudu Rashidat was not against former Emir of Kano but for him. She emphasised lack of respect for traditional ruler. You only took a fringe of her comment.
@Jensenbaby See your comment, you have brought tribal and religious sentiments. I just commented based on the quality analysis given by the Falana. For your information, I am not even from the North so keep your biases to yourself.
The relics of colonialism, disregard your traditional system and enthrone a constitution that is poor communicated and understood by the people. Make it a mystery, mystified and a tool to subjugate the poor.
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much respect
No body can speak the truth again now because of aboki Buhari ?
The Emir as i understand is not against people having four wives or as many children as they want but they should measure the resources to the size of their family.The matter of he himself having four wives because we all know he is financially capable.
As much as educated Sanusi is, his 'small head' is not educated enough to restrict itself to one wife
Fact
Sowore for president and sanusi deputy
You should be a stand-up comedian.
Aminnnnnn
I laugh in Spanish. Sanusi vice of sowore?
I just think we need progressive ideology. dead country called nigeria where nothing is working, now una wan ban power generator turn everywhere black out.
@@wahabodusola6484 am one
He want to fight or fighting the devil with short a short spoon.
Senior advocate you are very funny sir
The name GANDUJE is tantamount to SADISTIC EVIL and synonymous to anything UGLY and WICKED. GANDOLLAR has murdered SLEEP and shall sleep no more.
This people don't know how to ask,
Something led to Sanusi's detainment by Abacha, which no one is talking about today
Tell them the truth please
I think Mr falana is right is a very controversial man also is very vocal and radical emir
Mr Reuben was triggered by the four wives point because he himself did not limit himself to one woman.
😅
His response was a drawback on a the flow of the conversation
He is Nigerian free to live were he wants.
We do not want the Northern for President or divid the country!
wHY NA?
Hadir temanggung jateng
Useless government🙄
If Nigeria remains, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi should run for the Presidency of the Nigeria.
He's a treasure to Nigeria but, not as a president at the moment
So southern did not have any capable people to run for president ?..........
SANUSI FR President, we vote him 100 percent
Don't be carried away. I like Sanusi also but the presidency goes next to the south, not d north
Mary jesus God FORBID. Go and do your research about him please. What is happening is a BIG Farce!
he said that because you want to keep the peace of Kano state
What they did in kano can never happen in Edo state... dethrone the oba of benin... It can never happen.
Honestly. It can't happen
The current Emir is his In law.. Ganduje should let him move about.
what concern traditional matter with national matter?
He has many wives because he can take care of them. He was MD of First bank and CBN governor he can buy private jet.
Emmanuel Samson I swear for the very first time I disagree with Falana...
He has 4wives cause he can take care of them... What's this baba saying.. I wish I could say to his face that he's VERY WRONG
@@olayemi271 Mr. Falana already explained himself na, he wasn't saying that Sanusi can not marry 4 wives or take care of them; Sanusi is wealthy and can obviously take care of his many wives and children. Falana was simply implying it will be difficult for the poor people to listen to Sanusi who have 4 wives to tell them not to marry 4 wives even though they clearly know he is richer than them.
Edmond Ikeh that doesn't sense man...
Mr Falana's argument doesn't make sense that's it...
So If he's not saying Sanusi shouldn't marry 4 wives. So what's he saying
The reason he gave to his people for not marrying too many wives was stated, which is simply lack of resources to take care of them and on the other hand if anyone has enough resources to take of them they can have as many wives as they can cater for
So Mr Falana's view on people not wanting to listen to him doesn't make any sense
@@olayemi271 it makes a lot of sense. People don't like being told what to do especially when they perceive you've kinda doing what you're telling them not do regardless you have more resources than them. The people will ignore that facts that the messenger have more resources and focus on the other fact that he has many wives and trying to deny them from having many wives. Reason it some more my brother or sister.
Ola Yemi , you are getting it twisted urself my brother, lead by example
Sanusi shouldn't be the problem of Nigeria co's we do have greater problems to put our energy into.
All this propaganda came from above but Sanusi is Majority because God is with him, is not just the governor, let's see.
This man Mr femi should be in government!
He suppose to be the CJN
He needs to be in government so that he can be corrupt right?
they sent him to where dangerous animals and human lives. awe is my local government area.
How would they demand for their right when most of them don't even know the constitutional rights. All they know and want to do is receive money they can acquire for their personal use and those that do know their rights are afraid to even speak up because of their God fathers
Nigeria hav finish any government hav know right to remove a King buari government
