The Kaduna State High Court sitting in Dogarawa, Sabon Gari, Zaria ruled Alhaji Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli as the rightful 19th Emir of Zazzau city. His Coronation took place on 09 November 2020 with many dignitaries in attendance across Nigeria including Sultan of Sokoto and the Shehu of Borno to witness this important ceremony for the people of Zazzau.
Many people welcome the news knowing that injustices could still be corrected however long it takes. Patience and perseverance have yielded a startling and profound result to the people of Zazzau as the Governor of Kaduna El-Rufa'i, healed the deep wounds planted into the hearts of Mallawa Ruling House of Zazzau Emirate in its 100 years.

There are still many more Colonial ramifications to be corrected and redressed. The complex and unwelcome consequences have caused depression in developments in places around the country. We can speak well on this for Potiskum town, being one of the centre markets from Borno pre-colonial and then hijacked by the Colonial Administration then. The Ngizim settlers and Bade communities in the Yobe region have fought to protect their community and came into fault lines with the Administrator. A tactical switch of controlling communities is in a similar case of Zazzau. The Zazzau case relates that Mai Martaba Aliyu Dan-Sidi was unjustly deposed by the Colonials because he held his moral principles by refusing to succumb dishonorably to dictates.
In a similar circumstance Mai Martaba Sarkin Kano Alu I, 1903, was deposed and sent on internal exile to Lokoja until his death.
This is not about reprisal however, The African History is many times thought to have been buried. The lack of it unfortunately sometimes halts the progress people rely upon; in having that skeletal transcript of history as a backbone that measures our progress.
