The Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II has urged the Kano State Government to enact a law that will punish those who end their marriages on questionable grounds.
Mr. Sanusi lamented the spate of divorce in Kano State, and said there must be punitive steps to reverse the trend.
He said many residents end their marriages on....
flimsy excuses.
The Emir who spoke in Kano, Friday, noted that women are often the most affected after divorce.
The worst hit, he said, are the uneducated and the economically-disadvantaged whose marriages are ended by their husbands over matters that could have been resolved.
Mr. Sanusi said anyone found guilty of separating from his or her spouse without sufficient reasons will be appropriately penalized to deter others and help reduce the huge number of divorce cases in the state.
Also on Thursday, 11 September, during the burning of illicit drugs worth N300m by the Kano State government, the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, disclosed that a village head in the state had been dethroned for using illicit drugs.
He said, “We have deposed a village head who was found consuming illicit drugs. We took the decision because as a traditional ruler, he should be a role model to others and not to be promoting ills in the society.”
The Emir, however, failed to reveal the name of the deposed village head, but added that any traditional ruler or district head found guilty of ‘criminal acts’ would be similarly deposed.
He also warned his subjects, district heads, ward and village heads against drug addiction, saying he will not hesitate to expel anybody found in drug addiction.
Share your thoughts....thanks!
