The Kebbi State House of Assembly has suspended Hassan Umar, the member representing Birnin Kebbi North Constituency.
Umar was suspended because he made disrespectful comments about the assembly leadership.
The Clerk of the House, Suleiman Shamaki, announced this in a statement released to journalists on Monday, April 15.
The House explained that Umar’s suspension was due to his inappropriate remarks and attempts to provoke other members against the leadership of the House.
