Crisis hits Edo Assembly as speaker suspends Shaibu’s allies

The Edo State House of Assembly was plunged into crisis on Monday following the suspension of three lawmakers by the Speaker, Blessing Agbebaku.

The suspended members, all Edo Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members, are believed to be allies of the former Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu.

The trio were suspended over an alleged plot against the speaker.
However, the nature of the plot is still unclear.
