The statement was silent on when the remains of the district head would be brought to Nigeria for burial.
Bayero was redeployed from Gwarzo in 2025 to the newly created District of Dorayi by the reinstated Emir Muhammadu Sanusi.
The deceased was first appointed as Barde Kerarriya by the late Emir Ado Bayero in 2006 and deployed to Takai Local Government as District Head and was later redeployed to Gwarzo.
He joined the Nigeria Police Force in 1970 as a police constable and rose to the rank of police commissioner serving in Gombe and Osun states before his retirement after 35 years in service.
His father the late Kabiru Bayero served as Native Authority police chief before his appointment as Barde Kerarriya by Emir Muhammadu Sanusi the first.
Kabiru Bayero, the deceased’s father, was succeeded as a local police chief by his brother the late Emir Ado Bayero in the 1950s.
