The Edo House of Assembly has suspended three lawmakers over an alleged plot to impeach the Speaker, Blessing Agbebaku, and other principal officers.
The lawmakers are Donald Okogbe (PDP Akoko-Edo II), Bright Iyamu (PDP-Orhionmwon South) and Adeh Isibor (PDP-Esan North East I).
Agbebaku who announced the suspension of the three assembly members said the trio were suspended indefinitely as they plotted to change the leadership of the house.
He alleged that the three 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.
The suspension of the lawmakers, however, created tension at the house as the affected members kicked against their suspension.
The Speaker, thereafter, adjourned plenary abruptly.
