The Kano State House of Assembly on Monday suspended five of its members for six months in connection with last week’s fracas in the Assembly.
The Speaker, Abdulazeez Gafasa, who announced the suspension of the members at the resumption of Monday’s sitting of the Assembly, said the members were suspended for alleged misconduct and violation of the rules of the House.
“They behaved violently and even attempted to snatch away the mace in a clear attempt to sabotage the sitting of the House,” Gafasa said.
