Bauchi Governor Dismisses Six Traditional Rulers for Political Involvement and Misconduct

Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has taken decisive action against at least six traditional rulers in the state due to their political affiliation and other misconducts. The dismissals were approved by the Local Government Service Commission and affected monarchs from the Bauchi and Katagum Emirate Councils.

In a statement issued to the media in Bauchi on Friday, the Acting Permanent Secretary of the Local Government Service Commission, Nasiru Ibrahim, on behalf of the Chairman of the Commission, announced the reasons for their removal. The dismissed traditional rulers were found to be actively engaged in partisan politics, which is against the principles of their positions. Additionally, they were involved in misconduct, illegal encroachment into forest reserves and unauthorized tree felling, misappropriation of public funds, and acts of insubordination, all of which are contrary to the public service rules.

The traditional rulers affected by the dismissal include Alhaji Aminu Muhammad Malami, District Head of Udubo; Alhaji Bashir Kabir Umar, District Head of Azare; Umar Omar, Village Head of Gadiya; and Umar Bani, Village Head of Tarmasawa, all from the Katagum Emirate Council. In addition, those dismissed from the Bauchi Emirate Council are Bello Suleman, Village Head of Beni, and Alhaji Yusuf Aliyu Badara, Village Head of Badara.

The government has instructed the affected traditional rulers to hand over their duties to their respective secretaries, while the emirate councils are tasked with appointing overseeing officers until substantive officers are appointed by the commission.

This move demonstrates the government’s commitment to upholding the non-partisan nature of traditional institutions and maintaining the integrity of public service in Bauchi State.
