In a statement released Wednesday evening by the Secretary of the Dutse Emirate Council, Amadu Malami, the District Head of Kadangare, Ibrahim Adamu, was suspended for alleged negligence of official property and permitting the controversial Dodo carnival on land under his jurisdiction — a practice explicitly banned by the Emirate Council.
“The suspension was due to the district head’s failure to adhere to the council’s rules and take care of official property,” the council said.
In a related development, Amadu Iliya, the Ward Head of Lautai in Kiyawa District, was dismissed from office after he was found guilty of mortgaging a government-owned farm and collecting excessive fees from the land — actions deemed as clear violations of public trust.
The Emirate Council condemned both actions, stating they constituted conduct unbecoming of traditional rulers.
