Online photos have shown how over 40,000 books and journals catalogued at the expansive library of the deposed emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, were successfully evacuated from the palace.
Mujtaba Abba, Sanusi’s principal private secretary, disclosed this in an interview with Daily Nigerian, that the library is worth over N200 million.
“His highness’ greatest concern was the fate of his books, so my sister and I stayed behind to ensure that we evacuated all the books,” Abba said.
“It took us sleepless nights to accomplish the task in two days. I made most of the transactions for the purchase of the books, and I can tell you, in conservative estimate, they’re worth over N200m.”
Abba also added that among Sanusi’s “over 40 beautiful horses and over 100 choice saddles, he picked one each and left the remaining to his successor”.
Sanusi who was dethroned on Monday is currently banished to Awe in Nasarawa State.
