The federal house of representatives has taken over the functions of the Kogi state house of assembly owing to the crisis in the state’s legislature.
In the past one month, the Kogi assembly has been enveloped by “crisis of power.”
Five members of the assembly had reportedly removed Momoh Lawal, the speaker, and elected Umar Imam in his place.
Following the development, the house on Wednesday took over the functions of the assembly in line with Section 11 (4) of the 1999 constitution (as amended).
The senate has also launched an investigation into the incident.
The action will take effect if the senate is in agreement.
