Drone, not stone, fell on Emir Sanusi’s head — Operator

A dramatic incident unfolded at the Government House in Kano when a drone unexpectedly fell on Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II’s head while he was delivering a speech during a Sallah homage he paid to the state government on Sunday.

The incident, captured on video and widely shared on social media, sparked speculation and allegations that the emir was stoned.

But contrary to initial claims suggesting the emir was hit with stones or another object, the truth behind the incident has now been revealed.

According to eyewitnesses and the drone operator, Salim Ameenu, the incident occurred when the drone lost control due to a low battery and crashed near the emir.

The drone operator, in a statement he released on social media on Monday, regretted the incident and apologised to the emir for the unpleasant event, noting that it was unintentional.

“Yesterday, I unintentionally flew my drone over His Royal Highness during his speech at Hawan Nasarawa. Due to a low battery, I lost control of the drone, and unfortunately, it fell near His Royal Highness.

“What happened has only strengthened my iration for HRH’s composure and bravery. His Royal Highness simply glanced at the drone and continued his speech without hesitation — a true display of courage and grace under pressure,” he said.

The Guardian recalls that the insinuation that the emir was stoned is not unconnected with the fact that there are, at present, two parallel emirs in Kano — Sanusi and Aminu Ado Bayero.

Sanusi was dethroned by former governor Abdullahi Ganduje, who replaced him with Bayero, but he was reinstated by the current governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf — a development that threw the state into turmoil and triggered a legal tussle between the duo.

The two emirs, The Guardian reports, occupy two palaces, with Sanusi in the main palace while Aminu resides in the other palace in the Nassarawa area of the metropolis.

Why should you be flying drone near VIPs without checking the battery?
Some people just get money and connection with zero sense

Epp us ask oooo....

Perhaps it was planned by someone over there.

He should be grateful they didn't attach grenade.

Whether drone or stone the security details have failed in their duty.

It could only have been deliberate to embarrass the Emir

Why did it have to Land on his head?
Was his head a launchpad?

Guy's have been watching too many videos of Ukraine's Drone attack on Russia

Don't start what you can't handle

If you had done that to Ojukwu after he returned from exile instead of holding a carnival and dancing all over him , you could have been taken more seriously

I mean a FELL happened.

Something fall 4 baba head. Yes/No

How did that even happen at all in the first place??

Like seriously. Maybe there's a conspiracy behind it...

How can the governor sit while the Emir is standing
It's either they are both seated, or standing
Emir is bigger than the governo...but according to Nigeria constitution, the government is bigger than any monarch

Not stoned but a drone dropping on his head
What are the chances of that being a mistake while the Emir was reading a public speech?

Who said it was a stone?
That's obviously a drone.

Better a stone lands on your head than a drone.

This rule of 40 characters will spoil the fun of this forum.

The operator still needs to collect 10 strokes of cane, he should have charged his battery.
