Edo Assembly impeaches speaker

The Speaker of Edo State House of Assembly, Francis Okiye, has been impeached.

His removal followed a motion by the Majority Leader of the House, Henry Okhurobo, that Okiye is removed over allegations of high-handedness.

His impeachment letter was signed by nine out of the 10-member Assembly present at a brief sitting on Monday.

The House immediately elected Marcus Onobun, representing Esan West State Constituency, as the new Speaker.
