The Zazzau Emirate Council has suspended the village head of Hayin Dogo Samaru, under Basawa District of Sabon Gari local government area of Kaduna state, Mallam Shehu Muda, indefinitely.

He was suspended for turbaning one Alhaji Usman Baba Abubakar as Sardaunan Hayin, which coincided with the turbaning of Muhammadu  Namadi Sambo as the Sardaunan Zazzau without the consent of the district head and approval of the emirate.

This was contained in a statement by the emirate spokesman, Mallam Abdullahi kwarbai, Tuesday.

The statement warned the illegally turbaned title holder to desist from parading himself as the Sardaunan Hayin.

The statement reads: “The Zazzau Emirate Council has been made aware of news circulating regarding the alleged turbaning of Alhaji Usman  Baba Abubakar as Sardaunan  Hayin Dogo by the village head of  Hayin Dogo, Malam Shehu Musa, under Basawa District.

“The Emirate Council wishes to clarify that the district head and the emirate were not informed or involved in the appointment and the turbaning ceremony, which coincided with that of former Vice-President Muhammadu Namadi Sambo, Sardaunan Zazzau.

“In the light of this, the Zazzau Emirate Council has, with immediate effect, suspended the village head of Hayin Dogo, Mallam  Shehu Muda indefinitely and disassociates itself from Alhaji Abubakar, warning him to desist from using the title of Sardaunan Hayin Dogo.”
