The police have sealed off the Kano state house of assembly amid a plot to
impeach Abdullahi Ata, the speaker.
Before the assembly was shut, journalists and other visitors were denied
access.
The lawmakers are accusing Ata of being incompetent and failing to involve
them in critical issues about the house.
At least 21 members of the assembly have reportedly endorsed the removal
of the speaker and all principal officers.
Ata has postponed activities in the assembly till the end of June, saying
it is to make members prepare for Ramadan.
He emerged in July following the resignation of Kabiru Rurum who stepped
down after corruption allegations were levelled against him.
