THE crisis rocking the Ekiti State House of Assembly deepened as the lawmakers, yesterday, called on the security agencies to invite the embattled former Speaker, Gboyega Aribisogan over an alleged threat to their lives.
In a five-point resolution passed at plenary, the lawmakers urged the security agencies to invite and investigate the impeached and suspended Speaker, Mr Aribisogan and other suspended lawmakers.
The lawmakers hinged their call on the need to ensure that the lives and properties of members and staff are protected due to the recent calls received by members from the impeached Speaker and his cronies.
The motion, moved by the lawmaker representing Ekiti East II, Mr Lateef Akanle, was seconded by Mr Abiodun Fawekun, Ido/Oso 1.
Other parts of the motion were to make the suspended Speaker sign an undertaking that nothing untoward will happen to members and that the Resolution is transmitted to Governor Biodun Oyebanji for
necessary action.
In their various submissions, at the plenary presided by Mrs Olubunmi Adelugba, the lawmakers supported the motion.
The lawmaker urged the relevant security agencies to address the allegation before it gets out of hand.
