The Edo State House of Assembly has directed the representative of Egor Constituency, Hon. Natasha Irobosa, to appear before its Committee on Ethics and Privileges within one week following concerns over a recent viral incident linked to her.
Speaker Blessing Agbebaku issued the summons during Tuesday’s plenary, stating that the lawmaker must explain actions that have attracted widespread public attention and raised questions about the reputation of the legislature.
According to the Speaker, the Assembly could not overlook behaviour that casts the institution in a negative light. He noted that the online circulation of the incident had generated embarrassment for the House.
He remarked that members were increasingly worried about how the controversy had shaped public perception, emphasizing that lawmakers are expected to maintain high standards of conduct.
Agbebaku said the Committee on Ethics and Privileges had been given two weeks to thoroughly investigate the issue and present its report to the House.
Hon. Irobosa has been trending on social media after a video surfaced showing her in a heated confrontation with her husband, Innocent Idibia, sparking debate and criticism among members of the public.
