Fintiri, Adamawa gov suspends emir for corruption

Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has suspended indefinitely the Emir of Daware, Alhaji Hassan Ja’afaru.

Ja’afaru, the former district head of Daware in Fufore Local Government, was investigated and found guilty of corruption, maladministration, breach of security, and other offences.

In a letter dated April 25, 2025, and signed by Adama Mamman, Permanent Secretary, Chieftaincy Affairs, and made available to newsmen, he directed the district head to hand over all government property in his possession to the secretary of the district.

Part of the letter read, “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.

“You are, therefore, requested to hand over all government properties in your possession to the district scribe pending further actions”.

Fintiri has consistently insisted that his fight against corruption will not spare any sector in the state.
