Coronation Concerns from SOKAPU In an interview granted by Daily Trust in January 2023, the SOKAPU spokesman, Luka Binniyat, viewed the lowering of the status of the chiefs from the Southern Kaduna area from first-class status to a lower rank as an attempt to downgrade the traditional institutions. Yabwat joined 12 other chiefs from the Southern Kaduna area either demoted or had been so when he got handed over the staff of office in December 2022.
