The Zamfara State government has dethroned two emirs and a district head over allegations of aiding the activities of bandits terrorizing communities in the state.

Those affected by the government’s decision include the Emir of Zurmi, ABUBAKAR ATIKU, Emir of Dansadau, HUSSAINI UMAR, as well as SULAIMAN IBRAHIM who used to be the District Head of Birnin Tsaba.

Commissioner for Information in Zamfara State, IBRAHIM DOSARA, made the announcement yesterday while briefing reporters at the end of the State Executive Council meeting in Gusau, the state capital.

According to the commissioner, the government has also ordered that all land titles issued by the affected traditional leaders be revoked.

The deposition of the traditional leaders comes 10 months after they were suspended by the state government.

It also comes days after the submission of the reports of the committees set up by the state government to investigate the allegations against the affected traditional rulers.
