GENERAL Zamani Lekwot (retd) served as the Military governor of old Rivers State from July 1975 to July 1978 during the military administrations of Generals Murtala Muhammed and Olusegun Obasanjo. On 15 May 1992, when violence erupted between the Muslim Hausa and Christian Atyap communities of Zango-Kataf Local Government Area in Kaduna State over trading and land ownership rights, with many deaths, a tribunal set up by the General Ibrahim Babangida government sentenced Lekwot and 16 others to death for alleged complicity in the killings.The post Democracy not doing so well, military rule not alternative — Zamani Lekwot appeared first on Vanguard News.
