The Emir of Ningi Emirate in Bauchi State, Alhaji (Dr) Yunusa Muhammadu Dan Yaya, has alleged that some traditional rulers are conniving with kidnappers to terrorise residents of the area.
He said kidnapping has become a lucrative business to the extent that the traditional rulers now invite their relatives to the emirate to abduct residents.
DAILY POST reports that several cases of kidnapping have been recorded in parts of Bauchi State in recent times.
As a result of the development, peasant farmers, who are mostly affected, are now afraid of going to their farms.
The Emir made the allegation on Friday, when he summoned traditional rulers, including heads of over 1000 wards, to his palace.
The meeting deliberated on the high level of insecurity in the emirate.
Dan Yaya said intelligence reports at his disposal showed that some unpatriotic ward heads are collaborating with criminals to perpetrate all sorts of criminal activities.
