Iyan Zazzau, Alhaji Bashir Aminu, a major contender of the royal stool in the Zazzau Emirate of Kaduna state, is dead.
The powerful Prince from the Katsinawa Royal Household, prior to his death in the early hours of Friday, January 1, 2020, had been in court challenging the appointment of the Emir of Zazzau, Ambassador Ahmad Nuhu Bamalli.
While in court, he challenged Bamalli’s appointment arguing that: “Having scored the highest number of lawful votes cast by the kingmakers and thus selected by the said kingmakers, he has thus acquired a vested right to the stool of the Emir of Zazzau from the date of his selection henceforth.”
