The Oyo State House of Assembly has suspended another local government chairman in the state.
The Chairman of Saki West Local Government Area, Mr. Sarafadeen Omirinde, was suspended by the assembly on Tuesday.
Reports said that this was not the first time the assembly would be suspending a local government chairman.
Chairman of Irepo Local Government Area, Mr Lateef Sulaimon Adediran was suspended by the assembly in May this year for alleged diversion of funds.
The assembly on Tuesday announced that it had suspended Omirinde following some allegations against him.
The lawmakers announced that the suspension was to allow the House to investigate various allegations levelled against the chairman in a correspondence to the House.
The correspondence, which was signed by two-third members of the legislative arm of the local government, was read by Clerk of the House.
Some of the allegations levied against the embattled chairman included gross misconduct, religious intolerance, anti party activities and unlawful diversion of the local government subvention.
The house then directed the Vice Chairman, Mr Gbenga Akinola to take over from the chairman.
Leader of the legislative arm in the local government area is to take over the position of the vice chairman.
