The Emir of Borgu, His Royal Highness Muhammed Haliru Dantoro, has approved the immediate suspension of five senior Councillors of the Emirate.
This followed allegations that they allowed Fulani herdsmen enter communities within the Emirate.
The sanction was announced on Sunday by Abubakar Jibrin, Private Secretary to the Emir.
A statement he issued explained that the suspended Councillorsβ action was contrary to the directives of the Borgu traditional ruler and the Niger State Government.
He said the decision was taken at an emergency meeting held at the Emirβs Gbemusu Palace.
