Niger State Assembly Suspends Commissioner-Nominee Over Secret Documents Possession

The Niger State House Assembly suspended the screening of commissioner-nominee Barrister Moham Bello Agwara for allegedly possessing confidential documents belonging to the legislature. Agwara, a former PDP member who defected to APC, is accused of having secret documents believed to contain official state secrets.

The suspension motion was moved during a plenary session by Hon. Abubakar Kabir Ustaz, citing concerns over Agwara's past actions and a court judgment against the Assembly.

The nominee's fate is pending further review. The incident raises questions about trust, integrity, and accountability in the state's governance.
