  3. 3Formal legal trial of civil and criminal Sharia matters presided over by the trained magistrate in the Alkali Court.

Cevap

The correct sequence from lowest to highest judicial authority is: 1. Village Head (Dagaci) informal mediation, 2. District Head (Hakimi) administrative adjudication, 3. Alkali Court formal Sharia trial, and 4. Emir's Judicial Council final appellate review.
In the pre-colonial Hausa-Fulani Emirate judicial structure, conflict resolution progressed hierarchically: beginning with local village mediation by the Village Head (Dagaci), ascending to administrative dispute settlement by the District Head (Hakimi), advancing to formal trial under Sharia law in the Alkali Court, and reaching its highest authority in the Emir's Court (Judicial Council) for final appeals and capital cases.
