Hehe.......The paramount traditional ruler in Adamawa State, Muhammad Mustafa Barkindo, on Friday stripped former Governor, Murtala Nyako, and his son, Abdul’Aziz, of their traditional titles.The two are Sarkin Yamma and Sarkin Matasa respectively. The younger Nyako is representating Adamawa Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly." A statement signed by the Lamido Adamawa said the decision became necessary because the two title holders had been indicted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC, and arraigned before a court of law for alleged corruption.The Adamawa Emirate Council also dismissed the former governor from the membership of the council. Nyako was impeached by the state House of Assembly in 2014.Although the impeachment was declared illegal by the Court of Appeal, it did not order his reinstatement." Lamido Barkindo was installed during Nyako’s reign.The ex-governor soon after appointed the monarch’s son as a Commissioner. Nyako is presently at the Supreme Court asking it to return him to office based on the ruling of the Court of Appeal, an action that has pitched him against Governor Muhammad Jibrilla Bindow.
