Members of the Zamfara parallel Assembly said courts must follow the law. They plan to keep serving as lawmakers despite pressure from officials. The group claims no threats can stop their leadership goals.
Lawmakers told reporters they sent complaints about Governor Lawal to security agencies and mentioned having proof of planned attacks against them. The other Assembly group, led by Moriki, suspended them for over a year without legal grounds.
Former Assembly leaders tried to settle the dispute through talks, but the state rushed to a lower court seeking arrest warrants without charges. Judge Mikaila signed orders with the wrong dates, never specifying who should arrest the lawmakers.
The group remains firm about all branches of government respecting legal rules. They refuse to give up their right to represent voters, and their case remains active at the Appeal Court.
