Ekiti Assembly suspends lawmaker for 180 days

THE crisis rocking Ekiti State House of Assembly took another dimension yesterday as its lawmakers suspended former Information Committee Chair Gboyega Aribisogan for 180 legislative days.

According to the lawmakers, Aribisogan’s action would“henceforth determine further actions to be taken against him.”

The assembly members adopted a report by a seven-man investigative panel chaired by member representing Ido/Osi Constituency 2, Samuel Jeje, at a plenary presided over by Speaker Kola Oluwawole.

The report indicted Aribisogan, who represents Ikole Constituency 1.

Throughout the period of the suspension, the assembly bar Aribisogan from holding any position and “must not be seen in and around the premises within one kilometre radius of the Assembly complex”.
