Karaye emirate in Kano has suspended Abdullahi Sa’adu, the
village head of Butu-Butu in Rimingado LGA of the state for selling land to
Fulani herdsmen.
Karaye is one of the four new emirates created in 2019 by
Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of Kano.
Ibrahim Abubakar II(pictured) is the emir of Karaye.
Haruna Muhammad Gunduwawa, the spokesperson of the emirate,
released a statement announcing the suspension on Friday.
“The Fulani migrants
built a mosque on the land without following the due process which ignites
conflict with host community,” the statement reads.
“The suspension is to pave way for proper investigation by a
committee set up to look into the allegations against the traditional ruler.
“The District Head of Rimingado, Auwalu Ahmad Tukur (Magajin
Rafin Karaye) had earlier written a petition to the Emir of Karaye, Ibrahim
Abubakar II reporting the wrongdoing of the village head.”
“The village head was
cautioned by both the District Head office and Rimin Gado local government
council on selling the land.”
Meanwhile, the emirate has deployed Habibu Umar, the Madakin
Shamaki, to oversee the affairs of the village pending the outcome of the
investigation.
The emirate appealed to residents of Butu-Butu to remain
calm and support and cooperate with Umar to discharge his duty effectively.
The indiscriminate selling of land to unidentified
foreigners contributed to the clashes that resulted in the loss of several
lives in Oke-Ogun and Ibarapa axis of Oyo state between February and April.
In May, the Abdulganiy Oloogunebi, the Aseyin of Iseyin in
Oyo, warned residents of the state to stop selling land to foreigners whose
nationality could not be ascertained.
