The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, has dissociated himself from any social media accounts opened in his name.
The Emir, in a statement, said he has never authorised any person or organisation to open him nor post on his behalf on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or any other social media application.
Sanusi made this clarification after his office received calls and enquiries concerning social media accounts that claim to be from him.
This comes after an earlier advertorial disclaiming a fake Facebook and Twitter accounts created in the name of his Highness.
“We have officially notified the administrators of the fake Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and other social media accounts requesting that the accounts be closed immediately in addition to detecting the identity of the culprits.
“It is important to reiterate that the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, has persistently stood for the unity of the nation regardless of its diversity.
“He always emphasise the need for tolerance and respect for one another.”
Sanusi assured that his principles as a traditional ruler and religious leader would be meticulously safeguarded and warned the fraudsters to desist forthwith or face the consequences of their action.
