Zamfara State Government has approved the immediate suspension of the Emir of Birnin ‘Yandoto Emirate, Aliyu Marafa.
His suspension followed his alleged turbaning of a notorious bandit, Adamu Yankuzo as Sarkin Fulani (King of the Fulani) of his Emirate.
The ceremony was held in Tsafe town in Tsafe Local Government Area of the state on Saturday
A statement by the Secretary to the Zamfara State Government, Kabiru Sardauna, directed the District Head of Yandoto, Mahe Marafa to take immediate charge of the affairs of the Emirate in the interim.
Sarduana disassociated the state from the alleged turbaning of the bandit. He said the governor had already appointed a committee to investigate the circumstances leading to the action of the suspended Emir.
The suspended Emir had turbaned the wanted criminal on Saturday in a lavish ceremony that immediately sparked off concerns given the background of the turbaned terrorist.
