The Edo State House of Assembly has summoned the lawmaker representing Egor Constituency, Natasha Irobosa Osawaru, to appear before its Ethics and Privileges Committee within one week, following the circulation of a viral video showing her in a heated confrontation with her husband, popular Nigerian musician Innocent Ujah Idibia (2Baba).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the Assembly, the incident has brought public embarrassment to the legislature. Speaker Blessing Agbebaku described the situation as “an embarrassment” that has dragged the House into disrepute.

“For the past week, she has been trending negatively across electronic and social media platforms—TVC, Silverbird, and many other stations,” the Speaker said during Tuesday’s plenary.

Agbebaku condemned the attention the viral clip has drawn, saying it was unbecoming of a member of the Assembly and could not be allowed to tarnish the institution’s image.

“Distinguished Members, this Honourable House—filled with cerebral and highly educated individuals—has been dragged through the mud for too long by our colleague, Honourable Natasha Irobosa Osawaru,” he stated.

“We want the public to know that this House is decent and reputable. We have responsible, intelligent members who know what they are doing. The misconduct of one member cannot be allowed to stain the integrity of the entire House.”

The viral video, filmed inside a shop in London, captured Natasha angrily confronting her husband and raising her voice. Her words in the video—widely shared across social media—include: “Don’t do it. Don’t f***ing do it! Na everyday you go dey shout for me? Why are you raising your voice at me?”

The clip’s widespread circulation and its coverage by national TV stations were key reasons cited for the summons.

In response, the Speaker ordered Natasha to appear before the Ethics and Privileges Committee within one week to account for her behaviour and address concerns that she is “dragging the name of the House in the mud.”

The committee has been given two weeks to investigate and present its findings to the Assembly.

The directive indicates a formal inquiry into whether the lawmaker’s widely publicised private dispute violates the Assembly’s code of conduct or merits disciplinary action.

Throughout his remarks, Agbebaku emphasised the need to protect the institution’s reputation, repeatedly describing the Assembly as a “decent and reputable House” made up of “cerebral and highly educated” members.

He stressed that the move was a necessary disciplinary measure to safeguard the Assembly’s integrity, not a personal attack.

“So, the attitude or misconduct of any member cannot be allowed to bring this House into disrepute,” he concluded.
