\n
The notorious bandit, Ado Aleiro, who was recently turbaned as Sarkin Fulani in Yantodo Emirate of Zamfara State, has said he did not request for the title.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nThe bandit, who has been accused of terrorising some parts of the North West, stated this in an interview with DW Hausa.<\/div>\n
\nHe said, \u201cHonestly I didn\u2019t solicit for the title, I was summoned by the Emirate which initially I rejected.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter consultations with our leaders over the development, they suggested that I shouldn\u2019t turn down the offer since the new emir insisted it had to happen in his emirate; that was how I accepted it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aleiro also denied being the mastermind of killing of over 100 people in Kadisau village in Faskari local government area of Katsina state.<\/p>\n

He said he did not know the person responsible for the attack, adding, \u201cPlease go and ask the village head of Kadisau; it was a reprisal attack, I wasn\u2019t involved in it; I was just linked to it\u201d.<\/p>\n

When news broke that he was to be conferred with a title, many protested against it, but the turbaning ceremony held hours after the emirate announced the suspension of the process.<\/p>\n

The decision to confer the title on the banditry kingpin was premised on the role he played during a recent peace process locally arranged between the emirate and the bandits terrorising Tsafe Local Government Area of the state.<\/p>\n

Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara has since barred monarchs from conferring titles on anyone without approval of the state government.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
