Court Restrains Sokoto State Governor Aliyu From Sacking Monarchs

The Sokoto State High Court has issued an order restraining Governor Ahmed Aliyu from removing two traditional rulers, Alhaji Buhari Dahiru Tambuwal and Alhaji Abubakar Kassim, who were among the 15 district heads earlier dethroned by the state government.

The development comes amidst controversy surrounding the dethronement of traditional rulers in Sokoto State, with many calling for respect and protection of traditional institutions. The state government's move to amend the Local Government Law, granting the Governor exclusive powers to appoint and dethrone traditional rulers, has led to debate and warnings from notable figures, including Vice President Kashim Shettima and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
