The Sokoto State House of Assembly on Tuesday suspended two of its members, Sani Yakubu (APC- Gudu) and Malami Galadanchi (APC- Sokoto North I).

Reports that the two lawmakers were suspended for unethical conduct.

The assembly had set up a special committee to investigate the conduct of the two members during the recent impeachment of the Deputy House Leader, Kabiru Ibrahim.

The Committee, headed by Habibu Modachi (APC- Isa), in its report, said the two members had pleaded guilty to the charges against them.

The two were also told to submit separate letters of apology to the Assembly.

The Speaker, Alhaji Salihu Maidaji, presided over the House sitting. (NAN)
