Outrage As Suspected Gang Leader, Ado Aleru Is Made Chief in Nigeria | The Conversation
Nigeria’s north-western Zamfara state government has suspended a Muslim traditional leader (Emir) after a suspected kidnapping gang leader was appointed a traditional chief.
Adamu Aliero Yankuzo #AdoAleru a wanted suspected gang leader, was appointed and installed as the chief of the Fulani community #SarkinFulani in Yandoton Daji area on Saturday.
It reportedly came as part of a peace deal with gangs after they agreed to lay down arms. But sceptics say similar agreements in the past were not honored by armed criminal gangs behind wanton killings and kidnappings for ransom in the region.
The “turbaning” ceremony was attended by several government officials and hundreds of suspected bandits on motorbikes with no arms. We discused this development today on #TheConversation
