The Benue State House of Assembly has handed a three-month suspension to its former Speaker, Aondona Dajoh.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Dajoh’s suspension stems from allegations linking him to a plot aimed at impeaching Governor Hyacinth Alia.

The decision followed a motion raised by Terna Shimawua, representing Kyan State Constituency, and seconded by James Umoru of Apa State Constituency during Tuesday’s plenary session.

Presiding over the sitting, the new Speaker, Alfred Berger, reviewed the initial suspension period from six months to three months, bypassing the traditional voting process.

At an emergency session held that same day, Alfred Emberga, the lawmaker representing Makurdi North Constituency, was elected and sworn in as the new Speaker after his earlier suspension and that of three other lawmakers were lifted.
