The embattled Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako, has been impeached by the state lawmakers.
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.
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.
