Kano Traditional Ruler Suspended For Selling Land To Fulani Migrants

Karaye Emirate, in Kano state on Friday suspended Abdullahi Sa’adu, the village Head of Butu- Butu in Rimingado local government area for allegedly selling a piece of land to Fulani migrants.

A statement issued on Friday by the spokesperson of the Emirate, Haruna Gunduwawa said “the Fulani migrants built a mosque on the land without following the due process which ignites conflict with host community.”

The statement added that “the suspension is to pave way for proper investigation by a committee set up to look into the allegations against the traditional ruler.”

The statement recalled that “the District Head of Rimingado, Auwalu Ahmad Tukur (Magajin Rafin Karaye) had earlier written a petition to the Emir of Karaye, Ibrahim Abubakar II reporting the wrongdoing of the village head.”

According to the statement “the village head was cautioned by both District Head office and Rimin Gado local government council on selling the land.”

GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that the action may be aimed at ensuring that the peace in Kano State is not truncated by the illegal sale of land to the Fulani migrants especially given the tense relationship between some of the Fulani migrants and local farmers.

In the meantime,  the Emirate has deployed Habibu Umar (Madakin Shamaki) to oversee the affairs of the village pending the outcome of the investigation.

The Emirate appealed to residents of Butu- Butu town to remain calm and give Mr Umar maximum support and cooperation to discharge his duty effectively.
