Highness, Muhammad Sanusi II,
has said that he was once slapped
for exposing stealing when he
discovered that a matron at his
school, Saint Ann Primary School,
has been stealing from his school
box and confronted her which
earned him a slap from the angry
matron.
Emir Sanusi stated this yesterday in
Kano during an interview.
He recalled his past experiences
most especially at his alma mata,
Saint Ann School, and disclosed that
he was about seven or eight years
old when he and his colleagues
discovered that their biscuits and
other provisions repeatedly kept on
missing.
He added that he and his colleagues
came to the conclusion that the
matron who had access to their
belongings must be stealing from
them.
Sanusi said that he had one day
discovered that his box was
emptied by unknown person and
pledged to confront the school
matron.
Emir Sanusi recalled that he led the
first demonstration at the age of
seven at Saint Ann, School, Kaduna,
Kaduna State.
According to him, the school was
initially a girls only school until it
incorporated boys.
The school authority permitted the
boys students to use the school
dormitory to keep their belongings
and a matron was appointed to
supervise and took care of the boys’
boxes.
Emir Sanusi described himself as
the person who always talks about
missing items.
He said that it has been difficult for
him or any other person to express
the enormity of what Allah has
done for him.
It would be recalled that since he
became emir of Kano, Sanusi had
made it clear that the position
comes from God.
According to him, it is not because
one is clever or connected, that he
is favoured with appointment but
at the prerogative of the Creator to
give to whoever He so wishes.
On the question of his knowledge of
the Bible, Sanusi II responded that
he was the best in Bible Knowledge
and had scored a distinction in
Bible Knowledge in his common
entrance examination.
He added for a person like him who
attended Islamiyya School ,the
development made it easier for him
to use his knowledge about
previous prophets and the history
of their time, saying it was similar
happenings he discovered in the
Bible, particularly the old
testament.
