The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has raised an alarm over alleged plan by Governor Ahmed Aliyu of Sokoto State to depose the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III.
The Executive Director of MURIC, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, raised the alarm in a statement on Monday.
The development is coming amid the controversy and tension over the deposition of some monarchs in Kano State.
Governor Aliyu had earlier deposed 15 traditional rulers for various offences.
In his statement, Akintola said Nigerian Muslims reject any thought of deposing the Sultan.
