The Bauchi State Local Government Service Commission said it has relieved six traditional rulers of their appointments for alleged involvement in partisan politics.
The Acting Permanent Secretary of the Commission, Nasiru Ibrahim Dewu, who disclosed this in a statement on Friday, said the affected traditional rulers were from the Bauchi and Katagum Emirates of the state.
He added that the dismissed traditional rulers had been directed to hand over the affairs of their respective domains to their secretaries and asked the two Emirate Councils to appoint overseeing officers pending the appointment of substantive traditional rulers by the commission.
The affected traditional rulers from Katagum Emirates include the District Head of Dubi, Aminu Muhammed Malami; the District Head of Azare, Bashir Kabir Umar; the Village Head of Tafiya, Umar Omar and the Village Head of Tarmasawa, Umar Bani.
“Those affected from Bauchi Emirate include Village Head of Beni, Bello Sulaiman and Village Head of Badara, Yusuf Aliyu Badara,” the statement said.
