Court restores Mahdi Gusau as Zamfara deputy governor

Gusau was impeached by the State House of Assembly on February 23, 2022, in spite of a subsisting court order.

But on Wednesday, June 21, 2023, Justice Inyang Ekwo ruled that the indictment by the judicial panel constituted by former Governor Bello Matawalle and his impeachment of Gusau were done in disregard to the matter before the court.

The judge held that the act of the then assembly’s speaker, ex-governor, chief judge and others was an aberration and could not be allowed to stand.
