The Benue State House of Assembly has suspended four of its members for a period of three months over their alleged involvement in a plot to impeach the Speaker, Hyacinth Dajoh.
The affected lawmakers include Alfred Berger (Makurdi North), Terna Shimawua (Kian Constituency), Cyril Ekong (Obi Constituency), and James Umoru (Apa Constituency).
Following the suspension, the Assembly undertook a reorganization of its leadership. Mr. Kennedy Angbo was appointed Deputy Majority Leader, Douglas Akya became the Deputy Chief Whip, and Elias Audu was named the new spokesperson of the House.
In a separate development, the House began screening commissioner nominees on Friday. While five nominees were screened, two—Ogwu Odeh and Imojime Tiza—are scheduled to appear before the House at a later date.
