The new Emir of Lafia, Justice Sidi Dauda Bage, is scheduled to enter the Lafia Emirate Palace tomorrow, our reporter learnt.
An aide to the new Emir told Daily Trust that preparation are in top gear for the new Emir to relocate from Abuja where he has been a Justice of the Supreme Court to Lafia town, where he will assume his reign as the 17th Emir of Lafia.
The source added that many traditional title holders of Lafia have travelled from Lafia to Abuja to pay homage and allegiance to the new Emir.
The new Emir is expected to enter the Palace as an Emir, receive homage and allegiance from title holders, community leaders and pray his first Friday prayer at the Central Mosque located in the palace.
It will be recalled that Justice Sidi Dauda Bage was announced the seventeenth Emir of Lafia on March 26, 2019 after the demise of the late Emir, Alhaji Isa Mustapha Agwai, on January 10, 2019 at the age of 84 who ruled the Emirate for 44 years.
