This is just as seven people have been arrested for allegedly trying to disrupt the coronation of the new Seriki of Hausa community in Igando land. The suspects have been charged before an Ejigbo Lagos State Magistrate’s court by the police, who are on the trail of other members of the gang. Lagos Metro gathered that two Hausa leaders in Igando, Alhaji Abubakar Geiro and the son of a former Seriki Hausawa in Igando, Alhaji Danjuma Alhassan have locked horns over who should take control. The traditional ruler of Igando was reportedly trying to install Geiro as the next Seriki Hausa, when the suspects attempted to disrupt the programme. The police told the court that the suspects threatened Geiro with knives and other dangerous weapons. The Geiro faction reportedly has the blessing of the traditional ruler of Igando, while Alhassan has the backing of the leadership of the Hausa community in Lagos. The son of the former Seriki Hausa in Igando reportedly insisted that it was the right of the Hausa leadership in Lagos to install a new leader for any community. Geiro on the other hand claimed that the traditional ruler of Igando has the right to choose whoever pleases him as the Seriki Hausawa of his domain. Efforts to get the reaction of the state police command’s spokesperson, Dolapo Badmos failed as calls to her mobile phone were not answered.]]>
