Attahiru
This play is written by Ahmed Yerima. The play is a story of the ruler of Sokoto, Sultan Mahammadu Attahiru, whose reign lasted no more than six months but whose efforts towards resisting colonial rule should never be forgotten. Ahmed Yerima’s eponymous play Attahiru is based on this singularly heroic act of this ruler who died on the battlefield fighting against colonial conquest and domination.
