Adamawa House impeaches Nyako

The Adamawa State House of Assembly, on Tuesday, impeached the state Governor Murtala Nyako.
Eighteen out of the 24 members of the Assembly voted to impeach the governor after adopting the report of the seven-man panel set up to investigate allegations of gross misconduct against the governor and his deputy, Bala Ngilari.
The panel found the two state officers guilty of gross misconduct.
Ngilari, however, submitted his letter of resignation to the Assembly on Tuesday morning, hours before the sack of his principal.
As provided for in the nation’s constitution, the Speaker takes over as acting governor of the state.
