The incident, captured on video and widely shared on social media, sparked speculation and allegations that the emir was stoned.
Details have emerged after an object hit Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II’s head while he was delivering a speech during a Sallah homage he paid to the state government on Sunday, June 8.
The incident happened at the Government House in Kano.
Many had claimed it was a stone that hit the emir.
However, contrary to initial claims suggesting the Emir was hit with stones, it has now been revealed that it was a drone that hit the Emir's head and the act was not intentional.
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 released on social media on Monday, June 9, regretted the incident and apologised to the Emir for the unpleasant event.
“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 admiration 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.
