Breaking: Edo Assembly suspends 3 lawmakers

Edo House of Assembly, has suspended three lawmakers over alleged plot to impeach the speaker and other principal officers.
The speaker, Blessing Agbebaku, on Monday announced their suspension at resumption of plenary in Benin.
Mr Agbebaku alleged that Donald Okogbe (PDP Akoko-Edo II), Bright Iyamu (PDP-Orhionmwon South) and Adeh Isibor (PDP-Esan North East I) were being used by some external forces to cause chaos and remove the leadership of the parliament.
The pronouncement led to a rowdy situation at the parliament as the lawmakers tried to challenge their suspension.
“Mr speaker, you don’t have the right to unilaterally suspend any member of the house. You must call for votes,” the opposing legislators said. “Allow members to vote on the matter.”
The speaker thereafter adjourned plenary abruptly.
