Northwest University Kano, NWUK, has distanced itself from a viral video claiming that the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, attended lectures to clear a carry-over.
A statement released on Tuesday by the university’s Public Relations Officer, Abubakar Ibrahim, described the video as false, baseless and misleading.
According to the statement, the viral video showed the Emir attending a public lecture organised by the International Humanitarian Law Society at the university.
The university added, “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 institution advised members of the university community and the public to disregard the video, write-ups and related claims, warning against creation, publication or circulation of what it described as false and defamatory content.
