The Chairman of Akoko-Edo Local Government Area, has been removed from office following his impeachment by members of the council’s legislative arm.
The impeachment was communicated in a letter signed on Wednesday by seven councillors, a development that came just hours after a planned peace meeting between Oshionogue and the aggrieved councillors failed to hold at the Edo State House of Assembly.
It was gathered that shortly after the aborted meeting, the seven councillors proceeded to Igarra, the headquarters of Akoko-Edo Local Government Area, where they formally issued the impeachment letter.
In the letter, the councillors stated: “We, the undersigned members of Akoko Edo Local Government Area Legislative Arm hereby impeach you as the acting Local Government Council Chairman with effect from today, the 28th January, 2026.”
“This decision is as a result of your abuse of office, high-handedness, embezzlement of council funds, anti-party activities, financial recklessness, forgery, and constant disobedience to constituted authorities.”
Meanwhile, a viral video circulating on social media captured the moment the impeached chairman was sent out of the council premises by onlookers.
