Mohammad Sabo Joji, the caretaker chairman of Dambam Local Government Area of Bauchi state is facing a probe by the Bauchi State House of Assembly following petitions from indigenes on allegations of misconduct.
The deputy chairman of the State Assembly Committee on Public Petitions, Habib Umar, while fielding questions from journalists after Tuesday’s plenary session, said the committee had received petitions from three indigenes of the LGA against the caretaker chairman.
“The first petitioner, Umar Danlami, accused the chairman of alleged misconduct and misappropriation of public funds, claiming it was contrary to the local government service rules.
“The second petitioner, Mohammad Adamu Ja’eh, had accused the chairman of illegally confiscating his five hectares of farmland in the area while the third petitioner, Suleiman, accused him of denying him his schedule of duties after he had served as a councilor in the local government.
“After receiving the three petitions, would conduct thorough investigations and invite the affected persons to ensure justice prevails,” he said.
Umar urged the people of the state to report any cases of misconduct, negligence, and abuse of fundamental rights to the petition committee for necessary legislative action.
