Muhammed is the lawmaker representing Akpa 1 state constituency in the State House of Assembly.

 

The lawmakers, who had an emergency sitting at the Assembly Complex in Lokoja on Friday, accused Muhammed and three other principal officers of gross misconduct and arbitrary abuse of office.

 

In a motion of urgent importance read by Hon. Enema Paul, member representing (Dekina/Okura) State Constituency, he said 17 lawmakers signed the impeachment of deputy speaker and the suspension of the three principal officers of the House.

 

The three principal officers removed from office and later suspended from the House are Bello Hassan Balogun (Majority Leader), Idris Ndako (Deputy Majority Leader), and Hon. Edoko Moses Ododo (Chief Whip).

 

The House, thereafter, announced Alfa Momoh Rabiu, a lawmaker representing Ankpa II, as the new Deputy Speaker.
