On Thursday, several Fulanis were killed in the territories of the affected rulers. During a security meeting with traditional rulers, security officers, religious leaders, and journalists at Government House, Matawalle issued the order.
“It is sad to note that during this meeting, we have received two different security breach reports from two different areas. The emir of Maradun is hereby directed to leave this meeting.”
The governor directed him to “suspend the traditional rulers in which these acts took place and initiate ways to identify and bring the perpetrators of the act of the authorities within the next three days or face the consequence himself.”
Matawalle warned that it would remove and test any traditional ruler in whose territory the banned 'Yan sa kai (volunteer security members) would take the law into their hands.
