Kano Assembly extends suspension of three LG chairmen by three months

The Kano State House of Assembly has extended the suspension of three Local Government Chairmen by three months to allow for a more thorough investigation into allegations against them. Additionally, the ad hoc committee tasked with probing these allegations has also been given an extra three months to complete its work. This extension was announced in a statement released on Monday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker, Kamaluddeen Shawai.

The committee was initially granted three months to investigate and deliver its findings to the House. The three suspended chairmen are Bello Abdullahi Gadanya from Bagwai, Dr Alhassan Salisu from Bebeji, and Abubakar Mustapha from Rogo. They were removed from office due to accusations of financial misconduct, abuse of power, and other forms of improper behavior.
