Billiri Emirate is a Tangale Chiefdom located in Billiri town, Gombe State.[1] The Head of the Chiefdom is called "Mai Tangle" which means "Father of Tangle" derived from Tangale tribe. The serving Mai Tangale is HRH Dr. Musa Danladi Maiyamba.
The Biography of Mai Tangale
Malam Danladi Sanusi-Maiyamba is the 16th Mai Tangale of the Tangale chiefdom.[2][3] He ascended to the throne 52 days after the death of Dr. Abdu Buba Maisheru II, the 15th Mai Tangale.[4] He was appointed by the governor of Gombe State in reference to Gombe Chieftaincy law and in consultation with the lawmakers.[5][6][7][8]
The Mai Tangale Crisis
In March 2021, Danladi Sanusi-Maiyamba was announced by the Gombe State government as the new Mai Tangale in Billiri following the death of Abdu Baba Maisharu II, the immediate past Mai of Tangale Kingdom who died in January 2021. The announcement erupted violence and protests in Billiri over the claim that Inuwa Yahaya, the Governor of the State, did not go with the candidate selected by the kingmakers. The erupted concerns and protests led to violence that claimed lives and properties.[9][10]
