NASARAWA ASSEMBLY ASKS CJ TO DISBAND PANEL

Nasarawa Assembly asks CJ to disband impeachment panel
The Nasarawa State House of Assembly has directed the state’s Chief Judge, Justice Sulaiman Dikko, to dissolve a seven-man panel he set up to investigate allegations against the State Governor, Alhaji Tanko Al-Makura.
The Chairman of the House Committee on Information and Security, Baba Ibaku, disclosed this in a telephone interview with our correspondent in Lafia, the state capital on Monday.
Ibaku said the lawmakers took the decision because members of the panel were loyalists of the All Progressives Congress in the state.
This, he said, was against the provision of the Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended.
He said, “We had an emergency sitting to deliberate on the seven-man panel that was set up by the state Chief Judge, Justice Umaru Auleiman Dikko on Friday, last week. We asked him to dissolve the seven-man panel because the members of the panel are APC members that hold various political positions in the state.”
Ibaku said this amidst tension in the state as youths burned a car, belonging to a member of the state House of Assembly representing Nasarawa Eggon East, in the Akuruba area of the state, Ibrahim Muluku.
The youths were said to be protesting the lawmakers’ directive that the chief judge should dissolve the panel set up to investigate allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of oath of office against the governor.
Investigations showed that some Eggon youths and some members of the Ombatse militia group were said to have threatened to set ablaze houses in Kaberi, believed to be All Progressives Congress supporters.
Another source, who did want his name in print, told our correspondent that it took the intervention of the state’s Commissioner of Police, Idris Ibrahim, who appealed to the Ombastse militia and Eggon youths not to engage in violent acts.
The state’s Police Public Relation Officer, Umaru Ismila, also confirmed the incident in a telephone interview in Lafia.
