The 58 year old former banker is among several Nigerian monarchs that loves to be chauffeured around in a Rolls-Royce car. His garage includes inherited classic Rolls-Royces as well as recent versions that he acquired by himself.

Let’s take a look at some of Emir of Kano’s Rolls-Royces.

According to Sanusi, the two luxury cars, designed to be driven by his chauffeur, were gifts from his friends Kola Kareem and Bola Shagaya.

“The Rolls-Royces they talked about were bought by my two friends, Kola Kareem and Bola Shagaya. This is normal”

“The late Emir’s limousines were bought by Aminu Dantata, Fernandez, Isiaka Rabiu, Sani Abacha and Ahmed Muazu. Everyone has friends and well-wishers”

The above statement came after the Emir of Kano was accused of using the Emirates account to fund his opulent lifestyle, including the acquisition of the two Rolls-Royces.

He added that,

“They (his friends) asked what can we do and i said ‘buy me new cars’. The limos here are all antique and dead”
