The Kano State House of Assembly on Tuesday, August 4th, ordered the suspension of the chairmen of Bebeji, Rogo, and Bagwai Local Government Areas for three months.
The Special Adviser to Governor Abba Yusuf on New Media, Ibrahim Adam, made this known in a post on his verified Facebook page, where he disclosed that the suspended council chairmen will stay out of office for the full three months.
“The Chairmen of Bebeji, Rogo and Bagwai Local Government Areas have been suspended from office for three months by the Kano State House of Assembly,” the statement said.
So far, neither the Kano State House of Assembly nor the state government has given an official reason for the suspensions.
At the time this report was filed, the assembly had not released a formal statement explaining the allegations against the chairmen or the legal grounds for their suspension.
Authorities are expected to share more details as they clarify the situation.
