Why did they have to kill the other sister in the first place.

they asked for 60M, the family said they had 30M. So they killed the big sister and increased the ransom to N100M and they were paid. Terrorists.

nazicartel:
How were they able to raise the 100m ?... My fear everyday is , what's bigger than us shouldn't meet us

the money was raised through crowdfunding

Any governor can remove any traditional ruler. They have the constitutional power to do so.

You see, the fact is that all the kingdoms and societies in what is now Nigeria were conquered by the colonialists and the colonialists handed power to the Nigerian state and this means that the state (represented by the governor) has power over all the monarchs in Nigeria.

This is why all recognised first class traditional rulers (including the Oba of Benin and the Obi of Onitsha) receive their staff of office from the governor.

However, there's something else you need to consider. A traditional ruler might be loved by his people and removing him might lead to problems.

But still, there have been governments in Nigeria that have braved riots and gone ahead to remove traditional rulers. Let's look at some examples.

Sir Siddiqi Abubakar was the Sultan of Sokoto from the 1930s till 1988. My dad used to ask, "Why are they making this man suffer"? That's because he was very old. You should have seen him at the time that Buhari or Babangida visited him. He was old and infirm. He couldn't deliver a speech. He would tell someone (standing beside his throne) what he wanted to say and the person would then say it out loud for everybody to hear. My dad said that they should have allowed him to rest.

He and Ahmadu Bello had trained a lot of people that later became senior civil servants and military leaders and they all revered him. He was the most powerful traditional ruler in Nigeria at that time.

Sir Siddiqi died in 1988 and everybody expected that his son, Mohammed Maccido, would be turbaned as the new Sultan, but shockingly, the government announced that Alhaji Ibrahim Dasuki, a member of the Donation Circuit (and a friend of Babangida), had been selected as the new Sultan. There were massive riots in Sokoto. Lots of soldiers and policemen were brought in to stop the riots and many people died.

Still, Dasuki reigned as Sultan until 1996 when General Abacha deposed him and installed Mohammed Maccido, the son of Sir Siddiqi, as Sultan. There was jubilation in Sokoto when Dasuki was removed.




I repeat (for emphasis), Rimi lost the election.

Traditional rulers have been barred from getting involved in partisan politics since the advent of military rule. However, in 1991, the late Oba of Benin, Oba Erediauwa, made it very clear that he was supporting Chief John Odigie Oyegun to be governor of Edo State and that he did not want Lucky Igbinedion to be governor. Oyegun eventually won the election.

Lucky Igbinedion also contested the 1999 Edo governorship election and once again the Oba made it clear that he didn't want Igbinedion to win (he was supporting Lucky Imasuen of the APP). This time, the military governor, Navy Captain Anthony Ibe Onyearugbulem was not happy about the Oba's incursion into partisan politics. He suspended the Oba of Benin and proposed that the chairmanship of the Edo Council of Chiefs should be rotated among traditional rulers in the state.

However, the Palace later issued a statement that the Oba was not involved in partisan politics. Many senior people in society also mediated in the dispute and the governor rescinded the suspension and apologised to the Oba.

the same onyearugbulem did same thing in ondo. And later died a very useless death
