Nasarawa State Attorney-General Scales Fence in Assembly Complex, Lawmakers Demand Urgent Sack

Umaru Al-Makura, Nasarawa State House Assembly, Innocent Lagi

The Nasarawa State House Assembly has called on Governor Umaru Al-Makura to immediately relieve the the state Attorney -General and Commissioner for Justice, Innocent Lagi of his appointment over misconduct at the Assembly. 

The House reached a resolution to call for the sack of the Attorney- General on Tuesday after it deliberated on the issue of misconduct raised by the Majority leader, Godiya Akwashi. 

Akwashiki, who brought the issue under matters of urgent public interest, said Lagi came to the complex during plenary, when he was denied entry by security operatives; he scaled the fence to gain entrance into the Assembly. 

The Majority Leader wondered why the Attorney General could engage in the scaling of a fence. He said that by such act,Lagi is not fit to occupy the office of Attorney- General.

The Assembly therefore resolved that Lagi should be sacked with immediate effect from the Al-Makura’s cabinet. The resolution read by the Deputy Speaker, Elisha Agwadu, also directed that the police should investigate and prosecute the Attorney- General, over his mission to the Assembly. This, the House said, became necessary to serve as a deterrent to others.
