report by a 7-man investigative committee
that probed allegations of gross misconduct
and financial impropriety against him.
The report, which was read by the State
Assembly Speaker Umaru Fintiri on the floor
of the House, found the governor guilty of
all the 16 allegations of gross misconduct.
18 out of the 24 members of the State
Assembly then signed a resolution removing
the governor.
The House then passed a motion that the
Speaker, Umaru Fintiri, should be sworn in
as the state’s acting governor. According to
reports, that will be done by 4pm today.
Meanwhile, the state Deputy Governor who
was also investigated by the panel, had
resigned his position earlier in the day in a
letter he sent to the House of Assembly which
was read by members and immediately
approved.
