The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has suspended the Village Head of Rikadawa, in Madobi Local Government Area of the state, Malam Rabi’u Yusuf, over alleged involvement in land racketeering.
The suspension followed complaints from community members that the village head and Isah Dahiru, son of the District Head, are selling lands belonging to the District Head of Madobi, Alhaji Sale Musa-Kwankwaso, without permission.
The Matawalle of Kano, Alhaji Ali Ibrahim-Ahmad, and the Waziri of Kano, Alhaji Sa’ad Shehu-Gidado, announced the Emir’s decision after receiving the complaint on Thursday.
