The Edo State House of Assembly has directed the representative of Egor Constituency, Hon. Natasha Irobosa, to appear before its Ethics and Privileges Committee within one week.
According to the Assembly, she is expected to respond to allegations of misconduct brought against her.
Presiding over plenary, Speaker Blessing Agbebaku explained that she must address concerns over actions that have allegedly tarnished the image of the legislature.
He said, “Hon. Natasha Irobosa has been summoned to appear before the Ethics and Privilege Committee of the Assembly due to her recent conduct, which has been trending online.”
He added that her behaviour has cast the House in a negative light, stressing that lawmakers are expected to uphold dignity and discipline at all times.
“This House has cerebral minds, educated people who have been dragged in the mud for too long by our colleague, Hon. Natasha. She has been trending on social media and television for the wrong reason,” he stated.
He said members are competent individuals, yet her conduct has allegedly undermined the Assembly’s reputation, something the House will no longer tolerate.
The committee is expected to present its findings to the House within two weeks.
Irobosa has been trending recently after a video surfaced online showing her in a heated disagreement with her husband, Innocent Idibia.
