Northwest University Kano (NWUK) denies a viral video and related posts that claim Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II attended lectures to clear an alleged carry-over in his academic record. The university says the circulating material is misleading and does not reflect its position.

In statements reported by several outlets, NWUK urges the public to disregard the video, write-ups, and claims built around it. The university’s public relations officer, Abubakar Ibrahim, describes the allegations as false, baseless, and defamatory. Multiple reports also state that the footage actually depicts the Emir attending a public lecture organised by the International Humanitarian Law Society at the university.

Across the articles, the core focus remains consistent: the university is distancing itself from the “carry-over” narrative, and is correcting what it says is a misinterpretation of an earlier event. Outlets vary mainly in wording and framing, but they all cite NWUK’s denial and its explanation of the context of the video.
