SPEAKER, HOUSE OF REPS SUSPENDED

Following a notice of alleged misconduct served the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Emenike Victor C., the House of Representatives at her sitting on Monday, 5th December, 2016 at the Students' Union Building suspended the Speaker.

Also, a seven-man committee was set up after a recess by the House to investigate the matter and report back within 21 days.

Unfortunately however, there was serious interference by the Security Department of the University as security men came to disrupt the sitting on the premise that the security department was not notified about the meeting. All efforts to explain that it was an emergency which could go without such notifications met deaf ears.

Since the House had concluded all necessary matters on her agenda for the day, the sitting ended with members chanting solidarity songs as they dispersed.
We expect that the Committee set up to investigate the matter will report back as soon as possible.
