Alhaji Aliyu Marafa, the Emir of Birnin Yandoto of Tsafe
Local Government Area of Zamfara State has been suspended by Governor Bello
Matawalle for conferring a chieftaincy title on a banditry kingpin, Ado Alero.
The banditry kingpin, Ado Alero, was turbaned as the Sarkin
Fulani on Saturday by the Emir.
Report has it that the decision of conferring the title on
Ado Alero was based on the major role he played during a recent peace process
locally arranged between the emirate and the bandits terrorising Tsafe Local
Government Area.
Kabiru Balarebe, the Secretary to the State Government, in a
statement, announced the suspension of the emir with immediate effect, saying
that the State government distanced itself from all the processes.
The State government, however, assigned Alh. Mahe Garba
Marafa, the District Head of ‘Yandoto, to take charge of the affairs of the
emirate.
The government, according to the statement, also raised a
six-man committee chaired by Yahaya Chado Gora to investigate the circumstances
leading to the action of the emir.
