Kano state House of Assembly on Monday, March 16, suspended five lawmakers for six months over a fracas that broke out last week, leading to the disruption of the plenary process.
The speaker, Abdulazeez Gafasa, announced the suspension of the members at the resumption of today’s sitting of the Assembly.
Members suspended include, Garba Yau Gwarmai representing Kunchi/Tsanyawa Constituency, Labaran Abdul Madari representing Warawa Constituency, Isyaku Ali Danja representing Gezawa Constituency, Mohammed Bello representing Rimingado/Tofa constituency and Salisu Ahmed Gwamgwazo representing Kano Municipal respectively.
Gafasa said: “the five members were suspended for violating the rules of the house especially Order IV Sub 4 a, b, d and e disrupting the sittings of the house and preventing proceedings from going on.
“They behave violently and even attempted to snatch away the mace in a clear attempt to sabotage the sitting of the house.”
