The Speaker of Edo House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Blessing Agbebaku on Monday suspended three lawmakers over alleged plot to impeach him and other principal officers of the House.
The suspended lawmakers include Mr Donald Okogbe, PDP Akoko-Edo11; Bright Iyamu, PDP Orihonmwon South; and Adeh Isibor, PDP, Esan North East 1.
At resumption of plenary on Monday, Agbebaku alleged that the suspended members were being influenced by external forces to cause chaos and remove the leadership of the house.
He also alleged that some persons brought native doctors into the House at midnight on Wednesday, May 1, 2024 to make some demonic incantations and dropped charms in the Assembly complex.
Responding during the rowdy session, the three suspended lawmakers were screaming “Mr Speaker, you do not have the right to unilaterally suspend any member(s) of the House.
“You must call for votes. Allow members vote on the matter,” the embattled lawmakers screamed.
