Reports reaching www.christianonwugbolublog.blogsot com.ng has it that a lawmaker, the leader of Udu Local Government Legislative House in Delta state, Nigeria has been arrested by men of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF).
The leader of the House, Friday Okotogbo, representing Ward 9 of Ekete town of the State, was arrested last night by a squad of policemen from Zone 5 command, Benin City, Edo state led by ASP Festus.
Jim Oko, spokesman for Concerned Udu Citizens (CUC) told www.udokachikadebie.com.ng that Okotogbo’s arrest was sponsored by some aggrieved Councillors of the Udu law making House who have given reasons that Okotogbo has not followed the rules of the House, and has shaded alleged evil and misappropriation perpetrated by the council chairman, Solomon Kpomah.
Oko said the leader of the House has denied member of the House of their legislative and constitutional rights by not conducting the House sitting since February 2016 till date, which they deem as a gross misconduct.
“The leader had taken the House mace to his house since inception, thereby conducting sitting at his will and finally stopped conducting sittings of the House since early 2016.
“The leader of the house has deprived the principal members of the House and as well the House councillors not to hold meetings with the council chairman as prescribed by the Delta state Local Government Bye Law.
“That is to say, the leader is shading the evil and misappropriation of the council chairman.
“These are some of the concrete reasons that have led to the arrest of the Udu House leader, Rt. Hon Friday Okotogbo, representing Ekete Ward 9,” Oko said.
