Sanusi Lamido Sanusi Explains Reason For Visit To Tinubu

Former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has explained the reason behind his visit to President Bola Tinubu at the State House on Thursday.

Sanusi, who is also a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) arrived the villa at some minutes past 5:00 pm and had a meeting with the president.

It was the first time both men met since Tinubu was inaugurated as Nigeria’s president on May 29.

Speaking to State House correspondents after the meeting, Sanusi said part of the reasons he was in the villa was to make an appeal regarding the case of the 37 herdsmen allegedly bombed by the Nigerian airforce in Nasarawa in January of this year.

“I came to appeal to President Bola Tinubu on the case of the 37 Herdsmen who were bombed by the Nigerian Airforce in Nasarawa a few months ago.

“It’s a case we do not want to forget and he (Tinubu) promised to look into the matter”, Sanusi said.

Recall that the pastoralists were killed after a bomb exploded at the border linking Benue and Nasarawa states at the Doma local government area of Nasarawa State.

The Police spokesman in the state, DSP Rahman Nansel, had said that the police were working with other security agencies and the state government to probe the circumstances surrounding the incident and arrest the perpetrators.

However, Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule said it was difficult to say for certain exactly how many persons were killed by the airstrike, but said they had buried a total of 37 persons.

In other news, Kanyi Daily reported that the Lagos State Police command has announced that it is looking for family and friends of a missing but found girl.

The command in a short statement by its Spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin on Thursday, said the girl was found wandering in Idimu.
