The Assembly of Councillors in Shira Local Government Area of Bauchi State has removed Chairman Hon. Abdullahi Ibrahim Beli and his Deputy, Hon. Usman Adamu, from office.
Their removal followed an investigation by a committee that found them guilty of gross misconduct, financial mismanagement, failure to fulfill their duties, and abuse of office.
A resolution, signed by 10 councillors, including Council Leader Hon. Wali Adamu and his deputy, officially declared the positions of both the Chairman and Vice Chairman vacant with immediate effect.
“The removal of the Chairman and his deputy is based on the findings of the investigation committee, which confirmed that they were involved in financial mismanagement, failed to perform their duties, breached public trust, and abused their office,” the resolution stated.
Speaking to journalists about the development, the Council Leader explained that both Beli and Adamu had faced increasing scrutiny over their management of the local government’s affairs. Despite multiple warnings, they had failed to fulfill their responsibilities and lost the trust of the people of Shira, making their removal unavoidable.
