Alhaji Aliyu Marafa, the Emir of Birnin Yandoto of Tsafe Local Government Area, has been placed under suspension by Governor Bello Matawalle of the Zamfara State for bestowing a chieftaincy title on the notorious bandit Ado Alero.
On Saturday, the Emir turbaned Ado Alero as the Sarkin Fulani, the leader of the banditry.
According to reports, Ado Alero’s important contribution to a recent local peace process between the emirate and the bandits terrorizing Tsafe Local Government Area was the basis for the decision to bestow the title on him.
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.
