Babangida Hassan Jahun stated that the decision was taken by the Council during its meeting held at the Council Secretariat within the Emir’s Palace in Bauchi. 

According to him, the Council also warned the Village Head of Birshi Alh. Muhammadu Lawal Ahmad and the District Head of Miri, Mal. Hussaini Abubakar Othman (Danjikan Bauchi) to ensure full compliances of the turbanning procedure in order to avoid sanction.
