The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has stated that he has no account on facebook, twitter, or any other social media.
Mr. Sanusi’s stance was contained in a statement issued on Thursday by the Emirate Council, signed by the Dan Majen Kano, Alhaji Munnir.
It warned faceless persons to desist from posting statements on social media using the Emir’s name.
Mr. Munir also said that fraudsters created the accounts in order to demean the person of the Emir by posting provocative and misleading statements.
“Recently, the people operating the Facebook account announced to the public that the Emir was issuing free Hajj seats to some four hundred Nigerians which is not coming from neither the Emir nor the Kano emirates,” he said.
He also said a twitter handle in the name of the Emir was frequently used to publish libelous statements in Mr. Sanusi’s name.
