Adamawa Assembly sacks Governor Murtala Nyako

Embattled Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako, has been impeached.
The governor was removed a while ago as the state House of Assembly deliberated on the report of an investigative panel that probed allegations of financial misconducts against him.
Earlier, the state Deputy Governor, Bala Ngilari, resigned from office to avoid being impeached.
Mr. Ngilari's resignation letter was read at plenary by the speaker of the Assembly, Umaru Fintiri, after which the lawmakers approved it.
The speaker will be sworn in by 4pm.
