Some lawmakers at the Kaduna state house of assembly were
involved in a fight over the impeachment of Mukhtar Hazo, former deputy
speaker.
Hazo was impeached by 24 members of the assembly at
Thursday’s plenary session.
While the reason for his impeachment remains unclear, there
are reports that it was over “inability to discharge his duties”.
After the impeachment process, members of the assembly
elected Isaac Auta, lawmaker representing Kauru constituency, as the new deputy
speaker.
Following the swearing-in of the new deputy speaker, Liman
Dahiru, lawmaker representing Makera constituency, made attempt to seize the
maze.
But the sergeants-at-arm blocked him and other members of
the house who resisted the attempt engaged in a scuffle with supporters of the
impeached deputy speaker.

The plenary ended in a rowdy session as some members were
dragged out of the chamber.
Tthere are allegations that Hazo was plotting, alongside
some other members, to remove Yusuf Zailani, the speaker.
He was also accused of committing other infractions against
the rule of the assembly.
Hazo occupied the number two position at the assembly for
only four months.
He was elected alongside Zailani following the resignation
of some principal officers in February.
