The Edo State House of Assembly has impeached its Deputy Speaker, Hon. Yekini Idiaye.
Idiaye, who represents Akoko-Edo Constituency I, was impeached at a plenary session of the House in Benin City on Wednesday.
Details of the impeachment are sketchy as at press time.
Idiaye had on Monday led four other lawmakers to the residence of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the September 19, 2020 election in the state, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, to pledge his allegiance.
However, the lawmaker was one of those allegedly bribed with N40 million each by former Governor Adams Oshiomhole to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu in the September 19 gubernatorial election.
He denied the allegation laid by Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu on Tuesday.
