Benue Assembly suspends ex-Speaker, Dajoh

The immediate past speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly Aondona Dajoh has suspended for 3 months for attempting to mislead other members of the Assembly.

Dajoh’s suspension followed the motion moved by the lawmaker representing Kyan State Constituency, Terna Shimawua, and seconded by James Umoru from Apa State Constituency.

Shimawua, who moved the motion, was one of those suspended last week Friday by Dajoh before his resignation as Speaker.
