Benue Assembly Suspends Ex-Speaker For 3months

Barely two days after he resigned from office, former Speaker of the Benue State,Aondona Dajoh, has been suspended for three months by the house on Tuesday, 26 August, 2025.
Recall that Dajoh, who stepped down from the exalted seat, citing good faith and the interest of the state, was suspended on Tuesday during plenary over allegations that he attempted to impeach Governor Hyacinth Alia.
Terna Shimawua, representing Kyan State Constituency, moved the motion for his suspension and it was seconded by James Umoru from Apa State Constituency. Shimawua was among those suspended by Dajoh last Friday before the his resignation.
Speaker Alfred Berger, who presided over the session, ruled on the motion and reviewed the suspension period from six months to three months. The decision was taken without the usual voice vote that typically accompanies such disciplinary actions.
