The Lawmakers in the Ekiti State House of Assembly have accused the impeached Speaker, Rt.Hon. Gboyega Aribisogan of threatening their lives, and some others.
They made this call in a Five point Resolution passed at plenary today, over threats to lives of members, while also calling on Security Agencies in the state to invite and investigate him with immediate effect.
The motion, moved by Hon. Lateef Akanle, representing Ekiti East II, was seconded by Hon. Abiodun Fawekun, Ido/Oso 1.
The Lawmakers noted the need to ensure that lives and properties of members and staff are protected due to the recent calls received by members from the impeached Speaker and his cronies.
Other parts of the motion was to make Aribisogan to sign an undertaking that nothing untoward would happen to members and that the Resolution be transmitted to the Governor of the State, Mr Biodun Oyebanji for necessary action.
In their various submissions, at the plenary presided by Rt Hon Olubunmi Adelugba, members expressed support for the passage of the motion.
The Deputy Speaker, Rt Hon Hakeem Jamiu recounted his personal experience in the last few days.
He stated that Aribisogan and his cronies have been threatening him despite the fact that he was only performing his constitutional duties as the Deputy Speaker of the House.
The Assembly members thereby called on the security agencies to address the allegation before it gets out of hand.
