Gov. Bello Matawalle of Zamfara has approved the reinstatement of the Emir of Yandoto, Alhaji Aliyu Maraca to the throne of Emir of Birnin Yandoto.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Kabiru Balarabe on Sunday in Gusau.
The reinstatement is based on the recommendations of the Committee constituted to investigate all issues pertaining to the conferment of a traditional title to a repentant bandit, Ado Aleiru.
“The committee found no evidence of any ill motive or collaboration between the Emir and the bandit.

He said the reinstatement was with immediate effect.

The Zamfara government suspended the Emir of Yandoto on July 18, 2022, for the confirmation of a traditional title ‘Sarkin Fulanin Yandoto’ to Ado Aleru, an alleged notorious bandit.
The conferment generated public outcry that led to the postponement of the ceremony and since then the state government constituted a committee to investigate the matter.
