The Katsina State Emirate Council has dismissed Sarkin Pawwan Katsina, (district head of Kankara), Alhaji Yusuf Lawal, over alleged aiding and abetting banditry in the district.
The emirate had initially suspended Lawal in April.
He was, however, dismissed on Friday after the emirate received a letter from the state government, which also allegedly indicted the district head of all the allegations levelled against him.
The spokesman for the emirate (Sarkin Labarai) Alhaji Ibrahim Bindawa, confirmed the development to Sunday PUNCH on Saturday.
Bindawa said, “The emirate dismissed him (Lawal) yesterday ( Friday) after a letter was received from the state government which also indicted him of allegations levelled against him.”
