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 perform their duties, and abuse of office. A resolution signed by 10 councillors, including Council Leader Hon. Wali Adamu and his deputy, officially declared the offices 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 has established that the chairman and his deputy were engaged in financial mismanagement, failed to perform their duties, breached the trust placed on them, and abused their office,” the resolution stated. While briefing journalists on the development, the Council Leader said both Beli and Adamu had been under growing scrutiny over their management of the local government’s affairs. He stated that despite several warnings, they had failed to perform their duties and had lost the trust of the people of Shira, making their removal inevitable.
