Impeachment: Nasarawa Lawmakers Reject 7-Man Probe Panel

Members of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly have rejected the seven-member panel constituted by the state’s Chief Judge, Suleiman Dikko, to investigate impeachment charges against Governor Umaru Al-Makura.

The lawmakers who met at Karu Locak Government Area near Abuja away from the House of Assembly Complex in Lafia, the state capital, to deliberate on the petition filed against the composition of the panel by a group, Nasarawa Concerned Citizens, accused the Chief Judge of not following the constitution in his composition of the seven-man panel.

The lawmakers asked the Chief Judge to reconstitute the panel.

Following fears that they might be attacked by supporters of Governor Umaru Al-Makura who have been protesting moves by the lawmakers of the state to impeach him, the lawmakers on Wednesday relocated to Karu Local Government Area, a remote area of the state to discuss the petition submitted against the state Chief Judge, Suleiman Dikko, over the composition of the seven-member panel raised to investigate allegations against the governor.
