The Edo State House of Assembly has summoned the member representing Egor Constituency, Hon. Natasha Irobosa, to appear before its Committee on Ethics and Privileges within one week over alleged misconduct.
Speaker Blessing Agbebaku issued the directive during Tuesday’s plenary, saying the lawmaker must account for her recent behaviour, which has gone viral online and allegedly brought the Assembly into disrepute.
“Hon. Natasha Irobosa has been summoned to appear before the Ethics and Privileges Committee of the Assembly due to her recent conduct, which has been trending online,” Agbebaku said.
He expressed concern that her actions had negatively impacted the public perception of the legislature.
“This conduct drags the name of the House into the mud, and it is the responsibility of members to conduct themselves well,” he stated.
The Speaker noted that lawmakers were worried about how the incident portrayed the Assembly, stressing that the institution would not condone actions capable of undermining its integrity.
“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 reasons,” Agbebaku added.
He said the Committee on Ethics and Privileges had been given two weeks to investigate the matter and present its findings.
Hon. Irobosa has been trending online after a video surfaced showing her in a heated altercation with her husband, Innocent Idibia.
