Secretary to the State Government, Kabiru Sardauna, announced the suspension in a statement on Sunday.
Aleru was turbaned as Sarkin Fulani (Chief of Fulani) of Yandoto Emirate by the emir.
News of the turbaning ceremony along with photos went viral, generating outcry and outrage.
It was earlier reported how several bandit group leaders and lieutenants arrived at the venue of the occasion on several motorbikes to celebrate with Aleru during his turbaning.
A source told newsmen that the decision to make the bandits’ leader a chief was aimed at finding lasting peace in Tsafe and the Yandoton Daji Emirates, and other areas that were regularly attacked by Aleru-led gangs.
