Ondo State House of Assembly on
Wednesday suspended indefinitely a member representing Ose State
Constituency, Mrs. Fola Olasehinde, for allegedly harbouring some fetish
items in her apartment, located at the Ijapo area of Akure.
The Deputy Speaker of the House, Mr.
Dare Emiola, who announced her suspension on the floor of the House,
said the decision was taken during a parliamentary meeting before the
convocation of the Assembly on Wednesday.
The House had earlier set up a
five-member committee, headed by Mr. Fatai Olotu, which indicted
Olasehinde and recommended her suspension for allegedly embarrassing the
assembly by her action.
The travails of the lawmaker started
recently when a former commissioner in the state, Mr. Ogunbadejo
Kolawole, raised the alarm following the alleged discovery of fetish
objects in the apartment of Olasehinde.
Ogunbadejo had alleged that the scary
items were found in the twin-duplex 6, Olasehinde Lane, Ijapo Estate,
Akure, which she occupied between 2009 and 2012.
Fetish objects allegedly found included
amulets, snail shells, live snails, cow horns of different sizes wrapped
in coloured cloth, miniature coffins, photo images of humans and
animals, concoctions in black clay pots as well as bottles and cans
containing all manner of liquids.
Some personal effects of the female
lawmaker, including House of Assembly vehicle plate number, campaign
posters and hand bills were also said to have been found in the
apartment.
But Olasehinde denied any knowledge of
the fetish items, saying she had moved all her belongings into a new
accommodation at GRA, Alagbaka, Akure, since October, 2012.
According to her, she gave the keys to
her personal assistant for another co-tenant because the two duplexes
share the same water system, adding that she expected the co-tenant to
have handed over the keys to the landlord.
The landlord had issued Olasehinde a quit notice last year, demanding that she vacated the apartment by October, 2012.
