Amid prolonged controversy over the harassment of Yoruba kings by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, a human rights advocacy group, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), has called on the National Assembly (NASS) and state Houses of Assembly to liberate traditional rulers in the country by repealing laws that give state governors power to depose kings.
MURIC made the proposal on Friday 29th September, 2023 in a statement circulated by its Executive Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola.
