Following allegations of diverting palliatives, a Nasarawa State House of Assembly committee has summoned Nawani Aboki, and Mr. Bello Akoza, the Overseer of Ekye Development Area.
Aboki is Governor Abdullahi Sule’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity.
According to the Chairman of the Committee and Deputy Speaker of the House, Abel Bala, the duo are to present themselves before the committee on Tuesday for questioning.
Recall that some council Chairmen appeared before the House for questioning in Lafia on Monday.
They were invited to clarify their involvement in the distribution of palliative designed to alleviate the impacts of the fuel subsidy removal within the area.

The Chairman said that the committee is committed to conducting a thorough investigation, so the summon is needed.
He warned that anyone found complicit in diverting palliatives would face the consequences, stating that the committee is determined to hold all accountable.
In another development, operatives of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority while conducting their duties picked up an underage girl found loitering around Jibowu under the bridge.
A press release issued on Monday, the Director of the Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department of LASTMA, Adebayo Taofiq, disclosed that the young girl was found sitting alone under the Jibowu bridge at approximately 7:20 a.m.
Upon questioning, the girl identified herself as Kemisola Christy and shared that she had fled her home due to mistreatment by her guardian, who resides at 72, Glover Street, Ebute Metta.
Christy went on to explain that her decision to run away stemmed from fear, as her guardian had threatened to sever her hands as a punishment for allegedly stealing N100 from the money kept inside her purse.
Subsequently, she was handed over to the police officers stationed at the Alakara Police Station for further investigation.
