The Kano State House of Assembly has suspended the Chairman of Gwale Local Government Council, Khalid Ishaq Diso, for a period of three months.
The House adopted the report of its Committee on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs at a plenary session on Tuesday, after allegations of the chairman’s illegal act of selling government lands was brought before the House.
The Assembly said six members out of the council councillors, 10 members petitioned the House over the conduct of the chairman.
