Blessing Agbebaku, speaker of the Edo state house of assembly, says the three lawmakers suspended during plenary on Monday engaged in “nefarious acts”.
On May 6, the speaker announced the suspension of Donald
Okogbe (PDP Akoko-Edo II), Bright Iyamu (PDP Orihonmwon south), and Adeh Isibor
(PDP Esan north-east I).
Okogbe, one of the suspended lawmakers, is an ally of Philip
Shaibu, former deputy governor of Edo. He was the only lawmaker who did not
sign the petition that led to Shaibu’s impeachment.
Agbebaku accused the lawmakers of attempts to change the
leadership of the house through diabolical and other means.
He added that the closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras
on the house premises exposed the spiritualist and the lawmakers who hired him.
“They are being influenced to cause chaos in this house by
planning to change the leadership of this house. But to God be the glory, they
were exposed,” the speaker said.
“They brought in a spiritualist into the Anthony Enahoro
complex and dropped fetish items.
“They brought a
herbalist into this house of assembly premises to plant some charms in the
compound by 1am in the morning without knowing that the CCTV cameras will expose
their nocturnal act.”
A rowdy and rancorous session ensued in the house after the
speaker announced the suspension of the lawmakers, with the affected
legislators accusing Agbebaku of acting “unilaterally”.
As tempers flared amid the pushing and shoving, plenary was
abruptly adjourned.
