The Cross River State House of Assembly on Wednesday suspended Ms. Theresa Ushie, the Chairman of Bekwarra Local Government Council, for three months.
The suspension follows allegations of corruption, misconduct, and abuse of power raised against her.
The decision came after the Bekwarra Local Government Council Legislative Assembly passed a resolution requesting action against the chairman.
Earlier attempts to remove her from office were made three months ago, but this suspension is the first formal measure by the state assembly.
