Mr Ajana’s panel found Mr Achuba culpable of allegations of gross misconduct as alleged in the petition against him.

The leader of the House, Hassan Abdulahi, announced the decision Friday afternoon, adding that the impeachment was carefully considered

The committee was set up in August after Mr Achuba accused Governor Yahaya Bello of withholding his salaries and plotting to assassinate him.

The governor denied the allegations in his submission to the probe panel.

Mr Achuba did not immediately comment on his impeachment by the parliament.
