Sarkin Hausawa Of Ibadan Land In Oyo Suspended For Alleged Insubordination
This comes after Zungeru dethroned Alhaji Haruna Maiyasin as Sarkin Sasa last week for the same offence.
Alhaji Dahiru Zungeru, the Sarkin Hausawa of Ibadanland in Oyo State has been suspended by the Council of Arewa Traditional Rulers in 17 Southern states for alleged insubordination.
This comes after Zungeru dethroned Alhaji Haruna Maiyasin as Sarkin Sasa last week for the same offence.
Zungeru’s suspension was announced by the council, led by Maiyasin, in a press conference in Ibadan, Oyo State, declaring that Sarkin Sasa’s suspension was null and void.
Alhaji Suleiman Rabiu, and Sarkin Hausawa of Amuwo Odofin, stated that Zungeru’s team lacked constitutional rights to dethrone Maiyasin, prompting their indefinite suspension.
Maiyasin termed Zungeru’s pronouncement an affront and personal attack on his personality as Chairman of the Council of Traditional Rulers of Arewa communities in the 17 southern states.
He highlighted that credible institutions appointed him, and their validation supersedes Zungeru’s authority.
He said, “It is on record that the institution which appointed me as Chairman of Arewa traditional rulers in the 17 southern states and Sarkin Sasa in Akinyele Local Government Area of Ibadan were credible and highly recognised.
“If these institutions did not find me wanting in any special regard to warrant my suspension or removal from my offices, it would be beyond the powers of Alhaji Dahiru Ali Zungeru to do so.”
