Alleged infractions of traditional council regulations and norms have led to the suspension of Alhaji Babai Abubakar Garba Jugulde, the District Head of Wurbo Gashiri, by the Kuma Traditional Council in the Sardauna local government council of Taraba State.
The suspension was issued in a letter signed by Jelani B. Hammawa Yana, Secretary of the Kuma Traditional Council, and dated October 21, 2026, as noted by Afrisearch.
The suspension, as stated in the letter, was agreed by the traditional council members and went into force on October 21, 2026.
The district head was placed on suspension after the council claimed he violated customary council regulations by allowing himself to direct the administration of his department.
Additionally, it claimed that his conduct ran counter to official regulations and the guidelines for the functioning of the long-standing organization.
Nevertheless, the council promised to investigate the district head thoroughly to determine the truth of the accusations.
It went on to say that the investigation would decide on a final resolution or suitable actions.
There was a lack of information regarding the alleged violations and the duration of the suspension in the letter.
The suspended district head has not yet responded to the claims, as this report was being prepared.
