Nasarawa Assembly suspends APC lawmaker

er
Nasarawa State House of Assembly suspended yesterday a lawmaker from the All Progressives Congress (APC), Tanko Tunga, for six months.
The motion for the suspension was moved at plenary by Baba Ibaku (PDP-Udegye/Loko)  and seconded by Nathaniel Agyomesa (PDP-Lafia North), who accused Tunga of violating the Assembly’s rules.
Tunga was also accused of attempting to snatch the mace and insulting his colleagues.
Ibaku said Tunga should be placed on a half salary.
The Speaker, Ahmed Musa Muhammed, has directed the Clerk, Ego Maikeffi, to write the National Judicial Council (NJC).
It was alleged that the Chief Judge, Justice Suleiman Dikko, violated  Section 188 by appointing partisan persons to serve in the panel  probing allegations of gross misconduct against Governor Tanko Al-Makura.
The directive followed a motion of public interest moved by the Majority Leader, Godiya Akwashiki and seconded by Yahaya Usman (PDP-Ugya/Umaisha).
Francis Orogu (PDP-Keana) alleged that the Chief Judge conspired with selfish politicians to subvert justice.

Panic in Borno/Adamawa communities

As Boko Haram insurgents flee Gwoza   Fear has gripped residents of some communi­ties around the border of Borno and Ad­amawa states following rumours that Boko Ha­ram insurgents fleeing from Gwoza may attack their communities. Ezekiel Musa and Markus Yalah, both residents of Askira, south of Borno and Madagali in Adamawa State said they fled the communi­ties yesterday to Maiduguri to stay with their brothers in response to the rumour that Boko Haram was planning to attack their towns. “We heard Boko Haram men left Gwoza and have vowed to attack some com­munities in Askira/Uba again. So most people have not been sleeping very well since Thursday. We had to leave because everybody is talking about it. We came through Biu to Gujba in Yobe,” Markus disclosed.
