Speaker of the Assembly, Ibrahim Balarabe Abdullahi announced this after Chairman, House Committee on Local Government, Barrister Mohammed Alkali moved a motion on the insubordination activities of the affected council officials during the House emergency sitting in Lafia Monday.

The Speaker said for the chairman of Nasarawa LGC and Deputy Chairman, Karu Local government council to abandon their official duties to attend the court case of the former Secretary to the Government of the state (SSG), Alhaji Aliyu Tijani Ahmed is disservice and act of insubordination.

“The Chairman of Nasarawa Local Government Council is hereby suspended pending the investigation on his act of insubordination.

According to him, The Chairman is paying more allegiance to the former SSG than this institution and the government which is uncalled for.
