Controversy As Kaduna House of Assembly Sacks Lawmaker, Declares His Seat Vacant

Kaduna House of Assembly has declared the seat of Aminu Abdullahi Shagali representing Sabon Gari constituency vacant.

The House took the decision during plenary on Tuesday, April 27, according to information shared on its official Twitter handle.

The legislators accused the lawmaker of absconding from all Assembly activities for more than a year without any reason.

The Assembly directed its clerk to communicate with Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to announce a new date of re-run election for the seat. Shagali was the former speaker of the Kaduna House of Assembly.

Meanwhile, Sheik Ahmed Gumi, a popular Islamic cleric, says the increase in kidnappings in Kaduna state is due to the bombardment of the camps of the bandits.

The Punch exclusively reports that Gumi said on Monday, April 26, that the bandits had suffered heavy casualties and were determined to retaliate.

The Islamic cleric advised the government to set up a committee to open a dialogue with those ready to embrace peace, adding that it was the only way to resolve the crisis in the state.
