A close associate of the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, Muhammadu Dallatu, has opened up on the reason why the monarch did not attend the burial of late President Muhammadu Buhari.
Recall that Buhari, at the age of 82, died in a London Hospital on Sunday. He was buried at his compound in Daura, Katsina State, on Tuesday evening.
Speaking, Dallatu explained that the emir is currently away in the United Kingdom on an official assignment and is expected to return to Nigeria on Wednesday (today).
He stated, ‘‘The Emir will not attend. He’s not even in the country. He travelled to London for an official engagement and is expected back on Wednesday.”
Additional investigations revealed that on Saturday, Emir Sanusi took part in the 2025 Access Bank Polo Tournament held in Surrey, England, where he was seen alongside prominent global figures, including England’s national football team manager, Thomas Tuchel.
