The Zamfara State House of Assembly has suspended two local government council chairmen over alleged financial misappropriation of local government funds with immediate effect.

During the sitting on Wednesday, the House Committee on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs presented a report through the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Adamu Aliyu Gummi, which centred on the ongoing investigation into the financial activities of the 14 Local Government Councils for the 2025 fiscal year.

The committee recommended the suspension of the two council chairmen, Hon. Mannir Mu’azu Haidara of Kaura Namoda Local Government Council and Hon. Umar A. Faru of Bukkuyum Local Government Council, for their deliberate refusal to honour invitations to appear before the committee.

Following deliberations by the lawmakers, led by the Speaker, the House unanimously adopted the committee’s recommendations and approved the immediate suspension of the two chairmen in the state.
