Putting the Controversy to Rest: First-Class or not First-Class.


1. The Sun News Paper: confirmed that, Kokko Yake emerges first Gung-Za’ar of newly created Zaar Chiefdom on 27 October 2025 10:11 pm WAT
  
 *The publication continues that* 
".......His emergence followed the provisions of the Zaar Chiefdom Law 2025, which guided the transparent election process....".

This was contained in a press release signed by Khadija Danladi Hassan Kobi, Information Officer, Ministry for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Bauchi State, dated Sunday, October 26, 2025.


2. Zaar Chiefdom:

"....Bauchi Gov Confirms Brigadier General (rtd) Marcus Kokko Yake As First-class Ngum Zaar..." Source: *The Gazelle News.* Updated on October 27, 2025 by Abimbola Ogunaike.

3. The official portal of the Bauchi State Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs is *outdated* at the time of my finding. Meaning there are no recent update in the portal.

4. Bauchi Governor Confirms Marcus Yake as First-Class Ngum Zaar, Elevates Zaar Chiefdom. Source : Albarka Radio: published by Muhammad Sani Mu'azu - October 27, 2025.

So let the issue of FIRST CLASS should be put to rest now.

With the little findings I have done both by searching for public record sources and having a private discussion on the matter with some people. I won't comment on this issue again.

I have been convinced that he is a FIRST-CLASS Chief .
