The Court of Appeal in Abuja has sacked Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara and declared the March governorship election in the state as inconclusive.
The court, on Thursday, also ordered a rerun in three local government areas: Maradun, Birnin-Magaji and Bukkuyum, Channels Television reports.
Zamfara is currently governed by Mr Lawal of the Peoples Democratic Party who defeated the then-incumbent governor, Bello Matawalle, of the All Progressives Congress.

Mr Lawal is expected to remain in office until the matter is finally decided by the Supreme Court.
