Banditry: Zamfara state government dethrone Emir of Maru, District Head over banditry

Mohammed Munirat Nasir, Gusau.

The Zamfara state government has finally dethroned a second class Emir of Maru, Alhaji Abubakar chika Ibrahim who earlier suspended for suspected links with bandits terrorizing the state.

Also removed for same reason is the District Head of Kanoma, also in Maru local government area, Alhaji Ahmed Kanoma.

A statement signed by the deputy governor, Barrister Mahdi Aliyu Gusau said the two monarchs who were on suspension for allegedly being part of armed banditry in their respective domains have finally been stripped of their positions following the outcome of a committee’s investigation set up by the state government to investigate the allegations leveled against them.

The deputy said the two traditional rulers were found to have really committed the offences leveled against them by their subjects.

“Based on this the state government has no option than to remove them to serve as a deterrent to others”, the deputy governor said.

It will be recalled that the two traditional rulers were on 6th June, suspended by governor Bello Mohammed following  the way two rulers were manhandled by their subjects in Kanoma town early June in the presence of the governor when he visited the village to commiserate with them over the killing of 32 persons in the village by bandits.

PDP Governor in action...……….no time for nonsense

Chika...Cika not Chika...though they are pronounced same way. This governor has no time for "I no follow o"

We have now gradually entered the era of governors employing and sacking traditional rulers. The traditional institution has been desecrated.

Great news.

Lawalatm:

good one no be burukutu gworo chewing aboki

Bark and bite governor, not like some Aso rock god that has been programmed to just condem every killing and promising to bring the perpetrators to book.

Noted

Good one.

Buhari will form a committee for this

If a governor can sack a monarch. Then there should be no monarch in the first place . The monarchs are sharing from the national cake too and they should be scrapped as they are useless and powerless . Lagos alone has over 50 obas

You can only find action governors in PDP the other ones are Wike and Udom Emmanuel

The leaders of this days are something else.. criminals are in the helm of nation affairs..

In addition, according to Sharia laws, the useless criminal called Emiir should be flogged 100 billion lashes of koboko laden with chilly pepper, his entire assets confiscated and shared among almajiris, he should be banned and sent on exile to the Sahara desert, cut all his 10 fingers and his wives should be shared among imams, case closed
