The Kano State House of Assembly has extended the suspension of the Chairmen of Rogo, Bagwai and Bebeji Local Government Areas by an additional three months.

The House also granted a further three-month extension to the ad-hoc committee constituted to investigate the allegations against the three chairmen.

It will be recalled that the Assembly, under the leadership of its Speaker, Rt. Hon. Jibril Isma’il Falgore, had earlier suspended the chairmen following petitions alleging violation of due process and administrative procedures.

The Speaker had given the committee three months to conduct a thorough investigation and present its report to the House.

With the expiration of the initial period, the House has now extended both the suspension of the chairmen and the mandate of the committee by another three months, to enable the committee to further examine the petitions, conclude its investigation, and submit its report to the House within the next three months.
