Nasarawa Assembly suspend six lawmakers indefinitely.

The Nasarawa State House of
Assembly yesterday put six of its legislators on
an indefinite suspension for their alleged role in
the free for all fight on the floor of the House on
Monday.

Yesterday, the 6 legislators mainly involved in
the disorderliness were summoned by DSS to
give account of what happened while the other
legislators voted for them to be suspended
indefinitely.

The six legislators who were suspended were all
APC members namely: Abubakar Kana, Kokona
West; Kassim Kassim, Akwanga South;
Mohammed Okpoku, - Udega/Loko; Makpa Malla,
Wamba; Musa Ali, -Keffi East; and Murtala
Sodangi, -Nasarawa Central.

The six men were suspended at the session
presided over by the deputy speaker, Godiya
Akwashiki for “misconduct and for bringing the
House to disrepute” followed by a motion moved
by the Majority Leader, Tanko Tunga, who
accused them of bringing dishonour to the
House. He was supported by the Minority
Leader, Muhammed Alkali and fourteen others
legislators present.
