Fintiri Suspends District Head Over Corruption, Maladministration

The Adamawa State Government has suspended Alhaji Hassan Ja’afaru, the District Head of Daware in Fufore Local Government Area.

The suspension was conveyed through an official letter from the Office of the Permanent Secretary, Department of Chieftaincy Affairs, dated April 25, 2025, and signed by Adama Mamman.

The letter cited multiple complaints against Ja’afaru, including maladministration, breach of security, illegal confiscation of farmlands, and prolonged absence from his domain, which disrupted traditional governance.

The letter partly reads, “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.”
