Emir of Daware, Alhaji Hassan Ja’afaru has been suspended indefinitely by Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, over allegations of corruption, maladministration, breach of security, confiscation of farmlands, and creating a leadership vacuum due to prolonged absence from his domain.
The suspension followed an investigation into a series of allegations levelled against the traditional ruler, who previously served as the district head of Daware in the Fufore Local Government Area.
The letter of suspension was dated April 25, 2025, and signed by the Permanent Secretary of Chieftaincy Affairs, Adama Mamman, on Sunday.
Part of the letter read that:
“Following a series of complaints made against you for maladministration, corruption, breach of security, confiscation of farmlands and creating a vacuum that has led to all traditional issues remaining unattended, as a result of your non-staying in your domain, I am therefore directed by the Executive Governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Fintiri, to suspend you from office indefinitely.”
The letter stated, “You are, therefore, requested to hand over all government properties in your possession to the district scribe pending further actions.”
The state government says that the administration will not spare any sector or institution over corruption practices.
