The Kano State House of Assembly has initiated impeachment proceedings against Deputy Governor Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo.
Lawmakers accused the deputy governor of gross misconduct, abuse of office, and breach of public trust.
The development marks the start of a constitutional process that could remove the deputy governor from office.
Meanwhile, details of the specific allegations have not yet been fully disclosed by the Assembly.

However, the impeachment move follows rising political tensions in Kano State.
Officials of the Assembly are expected to outline the next steps in the process.
Under Nigeria’s Constitution, impeachment requires a formal notice supported by lawmakers and a subsequent investigation.
If the process proceeds, a panel may be constituted to examine the allegations against the deputy governor.
Further developments are expected as the Assembly continues deliberations on the matter.
