The Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Mr. Simon Achuba, has been impeached.
He was impeached on Friday after the Kogi State House of Assembly deliberated on the report submitted to it by a judicial panel of enquiry set up by the Kogi State Chief Judge Justice Nasir Ajanah.
Emerging from a closed door meeting to deliberate on the report, House Leader, Hassan Bello Abdulahi, representing Ajaokuta State Constituency announced the impeachment.
He said the decision to remove the deputy governor was unanimous.
The committee which probed the allegation of misconduct against Achuba was set up on August 26.
Achuba has been at loggerhead wth Governor Yahaya Bello, whom he accused of not paying allowances to the tune of N819 million.
