Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has suspended the Emir of Misau, Ahmed Sulaiman, over the crisis that led to the killing of nine people in Hardawa Ward of Misau Local Government Area of the state.
According to a report by The Punch, two other traditional title holders, the District Head of Chiromah and Village Head of Zadawa, were also suspended by the governor.
Recall that the governor had, on Tuesday, suspended the Caretaker Chairman of Misau LGA, Yaro Gwaram, and his deputy, Baidu Kafin-Misau as well as his Secretary, Usman Abdu.
The clash was over ownership of land in the surrounding settlement where herders are located and have been grazing for several years although the land belongs to the government.
The land was to be converted to farming land by the local government, a development that did not go down well with the herders.
