In a bold move to clean up the neighborhood security setup, Governor Umar Bago just removed Fulani district heads (Ardos) and handed the keys back to indigenous village chiefs.
Why the sudden reassignment? Well, it turns out the Governor got tired of the “Family & Friends International Reunion” package!
According to Bago, whenever local misunderstandings happen, some Ardos allegedly ring up their foreign cousins from neighboring countries to come help out, resulting in kidnapping, banditry, and farmlands turning into free-for-all buffets.
The Governor’s message is simple:
1. If you want to be a traditional ruler here, your loyalty stays here.
2. The Inviting Cousin From Abroad to Settle Small Quarrel feature has been officially uninstalled.
Those affected are either stepping down or getting rebranded as Hakimi under local supervision.
, when we say cut the roots of insecurity, this is what structural cleanup looks like! No favoritism, no international guest lists for bandits!
