Malik Yahya/

The dethroned Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II is expected to leave Awe, Nasarawa State, where he was banished to, any moment from now.

NewsmakersNG learnt that the development followed the ruling of Justice Anwuli Chikere of an Abuja Federal High Court this morning.

The judge has ordered the immediate release of Sanusi from illegal detention.

The judge gave the ruling after listening to Sanusi’s lawyer, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) and ordered that the deposed Emir’s rights to freedom must be respected.

Sanusi had been under house arrest in Awe after his dethronement by the Kano State government for being disrespectful to lawful authorities.
