The statement contended that “In view of these, the Zazzau Emirate Council has immediately suspended Alhaji Mustapha Adamu Ubaidu, Marafan Yamman Zazzau from his traditional title indefinitely,” it said.
The statement further explained that the suspended traditional title holder had handed down a judgement for an offence alleged to have been committed by one Yusuf Yahaya Sabo of Anguwar Magajiya without any legal prosecution.
The council however accused him of exceeding his traditional and constitutional mandate by taking law into his hands.
The release warned all district, village and ward heads as well as all traditional title holders in the emirate to desist from violating code of ethics and taking the laws into their hands.
