The Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Thursday extended the suspension of the 16 local government chairmen and their legislative committees by another six months.
The governor in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Rafiu Ajakaye, said that the decision was premised on the ongoing investigation of the affected officials by the anti-graft body and a subsisting resolution of the House of Assembly.
Accused of alleged misappropriation of public funds, the officials were initially suspended for six months following a June 18 resolution of the Kwara State House of Assembly authorising the governor to do so.
