On traditional rulers and insecurity | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

Recent call by the Alayetoro of Ayetoro-Ekiti, Oba Samuel Olufisan Ajayi, seeking roles for traditional rulers in the nation’s security architecture and the suspension of the Emir of Yandoto Tsafe Local Council of Zamfara State, Aliyu Marafa for conferring a chieftaincy title on a notorious bandit leader and criminal, Ado Aleru, represent two inconsistent positions about traditional rulers’ involvement in security management in the country.

On the other hand, whereas the action of the Zamfara State governor, Bello Matawalle in checking the controversial Emir is commendable, there is evidently no presence of government in some communities in the north west. Studies carried out in some local councils have shown that indigenes in some communities feel more secure with the bandits’ occupation than with the administration of their elected officials. In some cases, with bandits’ administration there is security and relative peace.

Notwithstanding, there is every reason to be worried about what happened in Zamfara. Firstly, there is the culpable naiveté of a public official and community leader, who without qualms, would flagrantly express distrust for the state to provide the necessary structure for security and enter into a deal with bandits for peace and security in his community.

To allow traditional rulers another role beyond the ones provided by their traditional positioning is to expand the latitude of importunity that has bedeviled this country. They should rather be content with their role as custodians of culture and tradition in their localities, and then work with legally recognised security agencies.
