BREAKING: Adamawa Assembly sacks Governor Murtala Nyako

Embattled Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako,
has been impeached.
The governor was removed a while ago as the state
House of Assembly deliberated on the report of an
investigative panel that probed allegations of
financial misconducts against him.

Earlier, the state Deputy Governor, Bala Ngilari,

resigned from office to avoid being impeached.
Mr. Ngilari’s resignation letter was read at plenary by
the speaker of the Assembly, Umaru Fintiri, after
which the lawmakers approved it.
The House is sitting today to consider the report of
the seven-member investigative panel, appointed to
probe allegations of financial impropriety against the
governor and his deputy.
The committee submitted its report to the House on
Monday.

There is high security presence on the road leading
to the Assembly and inside the complex.
A source, who works with the Assembly, told
PREMIUM TIMES only staff and journalists are being
allowed access into the Assembly.

The source requested not to be named because he
had no permission to speak to journalists on the
matter.
