The Edo State House of Assembly has summoned the member representing Egor Constituency, Hon. Natasha Irobosa, to appear before its Committee on Ethics and Privileges within one week.
The Assembly said the lawmaker must defend herself against allegations of misconduct stemming from a viral video circulating on social media.
During Tuesday’s plenary, Speaker Blessing Agbebaku noted that the lawmaker’s recent behaviour had brought the House into disrepute.
“Hon. Natasha Irobosa has been summoned to appear before the Ethics and Privileges Committee over her recent conduct trending online.
This behaviour drags the image of the House into the mud, and members are expected to conduct themselves with dignity,” he said.
Agbebaku stressed that the Assembly, made up of “cerebral and educated individuals,” would no longer condone controversies linked to the lawmaker.
He directed the committee to conclude its investigation and present its findings within two weeks.
Hon. Irobosa has been the subject of public attention in recent days after a video surfaced showing her in an altercation with her husband, Innocent Idibia.
