Lawmakers in the Zamfara State House of Assembly have
impeached the Deputy Governor of the state, Mr Mahdi Gusau.
Mr Gusau was impeached during plenary on Wednesday shortly
after the House received the report of the committee set up by the Chief Judge
of the state, Justice Kulu Aliyu, to investigate the allegations against him.
The seven-member panel set up to investigate the alleged
impeachable offences against the deputy governor, led by Retired Justice Halidu
Soba, had submitted its report to the State House of Assembly.
Speaker of the House, Nasiru Mua’zu, received the report
presented by Justice Soba at the Assembly complex in Gusau, the state capital.
A member of the panel, Oladipo Okpeseyi, had told the
Speaker that the committee carried out its assignment with the utmost
integrity.
According to him, the panel is not empowered by the Nigerian
Constitution to speak about its report or make it available to any person.
Okpeseyi, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), said the probe
panel only produced two copies of the report and has visited the assembly
complex to present the report to the speaker.
