According to him, the action contravened Section 0327 of the Bauchi State Public Service Regulations.

“It was a serious wrongdoing and improper behavior hence the Commission suspended them under Section 0331 of the State Public Service Regulations to allow the relevant authorities investigate the reported crime.

“Those suspended are staff of the State Ministry of Works and Transport attached to the State Infrastructures Development and Maintenance Agency,” said Umar.
