Kano University Denies Viral Video Claiming Emir Sanusi Had ‘Carry Over’

Northwest University Kano (NWUK) has disowned a viral video suggesting that the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, attended lectures to clear a carry-over.

In a statement released Tuesday by the university’s Public Relations Officer, Abubakar Ibrahim, the institution described the video as “false, baseless and misleading.”

According to the university, the footage in circulation actually showed the Emir attending a public lecture organised by the International Humanitarian Law Society at NWUK.

“Some social media users subsequently attached write-ups claiming that the Emir had a carry-over and approached the university to clear the alleged academic deficiency. The management categorically distances itself from the said video, write-ups, and the claims contained therein. The claim is entirely false, baseless, misleading, and without an iota of fact whatsoever,” the statement read.

The university urged members of the public to disregard the video and warned against the creation or circulation of false and defamatory content.
