Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, has indefinitely suspended the Emir of Daware, Fufore Local Government Area of the state, Alhaji Hassan Ja’afaru.
Ja’afaru, who was formerly the district head of Daware, was investigated and found guilty of corruption, maladministration, breach of security, and other offenses.
In a letter dated April 25, 2025, signed by the Permanent Secretary, Chieftaincy Affairs, Adama Mamman, and made available to newsmen on Sunday, Governor Fintiri directed the monarch to hand over all government property in his possession to the secretary of the district.
The letter read in parts:
"Following a series of complaints made against you for mal-administration, 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.
You are, therefore, requested to hand over all government properties in your possession to the district scribe pending further actions."
