Benue State House of Assembly has officially suspended four of its members for a period of three months.

The Benue State House of Assembly has officially suspended four of its members for a period of three months. The decisive action was taken following allegations that the quartet were the architects of a plot to initiate impeachment proceedings against the current Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Hyacinth Dajoh.

The suspension, which was ratified during a plenary session, effectively bars the affected lawmakers from all legislative activities and access to the assembly complex for the stipulated duration. While the specific identities of the four members and the detailed evidence against them have not been fully disclosed to the public, sources within the assembly indicate that the investigation into the alleged plot revealed a concerted effort to undermine the leadership of Speaker Dajoh.

This development highlights the ongoing political dynamics within the state's legislative arm and raises questions about the stability of its leadership. The Speaker's office has yet to release an extensive official statement on the matter, but the suspension serves as a strong disciplinary measure against what has been deemed as actions aimed at destabilizing the house's operations. The suspended members are expected to face a disciplinary committee as part of the internal process.
