Zazzau Emirate Council said the suspected homosexual who was arrested a few days ago is not a title holder of the emirate.
This is contained in a statement issued on Thursday 29th December 2022 by the Media and Publicity Officer of the Emirate, Malam Abdullahi Aliyu Kwarbai In Zaria.
According to him “The attention of Zazzau Emirate Council has been drawn to the news in the media that a “Title Holder” of the Emirate has been arrested for sodomy.”
The statement further stated that the arrested suspect is one of the Emir’s servant (Bawan Sarki) and not a title holder of the Emirate as claimed by some Media Houses.
The Emirate also affirmed that, it received the news of the arrest of the suspect with rude shock and as an institution that believes in the rule of law, it will not allow any form of immorality to exist within its ambit.
It therefore appeals, to the police and other agencies handling the matter to expedite action and ensure without further delay, the accused is prosecuted and face the wrath of Law, so as to serve as a deterrent to others.
