The parliamentarians accused the chairman of falsifying legislative documents and illegally selling the local government’s interests in the Benue Cement Company without the legislative arm’s consent, as well as embezzling the revenues from the transaction.
As a result, the chairman was suspended for three months by the parliamentarians.
The councillors claimed that the suspension would allow them to conduct a thorough investigation into the situation.
The local government’s interim chairman has been named Hon. John Mark.
