The Chairman of Shiroro Local Government Area (LGA) of Niger State, Suleiman Chukuba, has been suspended. This followed his impeachment on Tuesday by councillors in the local government who later reviewed their decision to a suspension.
The councillors reviewed the decision to impeach Chukuba after they met with some public office holders and government officials in the state led by the Shuaibu Liman, the Chairman of the Local Government Committee at the Niger State House of Assembly.
Aliyu Yusuf, who is the leader of Shiroro Legislative Council, noted that Chukuba would now face indefinite suspension from office, Channels TV reported.
“At the end of the meeting, we were told to go to the media and announce that we have withdrawn our impeachment of the Mr Suleiman Chukuba.
“Our position, however, is that he should go on suspension and an investigation be carried out to ascertain if he is guilty or not before he can be reinstated to office,” Yusuf said.
