The Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, a Fulani socio-cultural organisation, has suspended its state chairmen in Taraba, Bauchi, and Adamawa over alleged poor performance and neglect of members’ welfare.
The National Public Relations Officer of the association, Malam Mohammed Suleiman, announced the suspension on Thursday during a press briefing in Keffi, Nasarawa State.
Those affected are Bammi Bello Jane of Taraba State, Muhammed Hussaini Buzaye of Bauchi State, and Usman Abubakar Yirlabe of Adamawa State.
According to Suleiman, the decision followed a series of petitions from members in the affected states who accused the suspended officials of incompetence, lack of proper representation, and failure to address issues affecting herders.
He said an investigation by the national leadership, led by Alhaji Abdullahi Bodejo, confirmed the allegations to be true, prompting the immediate suspension of the three chairmen.
“After thorough scrutiny and consideration of numerous complaints from Fulani pastoralists, the National President has suspended the following state chairmen Bammi Bello Jane of Taraba, Muhammed Hussaini Buzaye of Bauchi, and Usman Abubakar Yirlabe of Adamawa effective immediately,” Suleiman stated.
Suleiman further directed all security agencies and relevant stakeholders to desist from engaging with the suspended officials, warning that they no longer have the authority to represent the association in any capacity.
“Any attempt by the suspended chairmen to parade themselves as leaders of the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore Fulani Socio-cultural Association will be met with legal action,” he warned.
