Zamfara State Governor, Bello Mohammed Matawalle, has reinstated Alhaji Aliyu Garba Marafa as Emir of Birnin Yandoto ten months after he was suspended for turbaning bandits\u2019 leader.<\/p>\n

The Secretary to the State Government, Kabiru Balarabe Sardauna, announced the reinstatement of the emir in a statement on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Sardauna said Marafa\u2019s reinstatement was based on the recommendations of the committee constituted to investigate the issue, adding: \u201cThe committee found no evidence of any ill motive or collaboration between the Emir and the bandit.\u201d<\/p>\n

WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that Matawalle had suspended the emir<\/a> for conferring a chieftaincy title on a banditry kingpin, Ado Aleiru.<\/p>\n

Amid controversy generated by the conferment, the monarch had said Alieru was honoured based on the major role he played during a peace process arranged between the emirate and bandits who terrorised Tsafe Local Government Area (LGA).<\/p>\n

The statement reads: \u201cThis is to inform the public that His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Zamfara State, Hon. Bello Mohammed Matawalle, MON, (Shatiman Sokoto), has approved the reinstatement of Alh. Aliyu Garba Marafa as the Emir of Birnin Yandoto.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis reinstatement is based on the recommendations of the Committee constituted to investigate all issues pertaining to the conferment of a traditional title to a repentant bandit, Ado Aleiru. The committee found no evidence of any ill motive or collaboration between the Emir and the bandit.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on the findings of the committee, the traditional title was conferred on the repentant bandit as part of peace building efforts between the repentant bandit and banditry-affected communities in Tsafe and Gusau Local Government Areas, which include Yandoto town. The reinstatement takes immediate effect.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
