Benu State Assembly Suspends Two Members for Misconduct

The Benu State Assembly suspended former major leader Saater Tiseer for six months and former minor leader Michael Audu for three months due to alleged gross misconduct. The suspensions were triggered by accusations of attempting to destabilize the assembly, including a plot to impeach the speaker, Hon. Aondona Dajoh.

Speaker Dajoh subsequently resigned, appointing a new spokesperson. Governor Hyacinth Alia denied involvement in the impeachment move.

The suspensions and resignations have caused a political upheaval in the state assembly.
