Lawmakers in the Ondo State House of Assembly have suspended the Chairman of Ifedore Local Government, Alex Oladimeji, for three months.
They said the suspension was due to gross misconduct.
Some councillors in Ifedore Council led by the Vice Chairman, Sogo Ajikiola, had petitioned the Ondo Assembly, stating reasons why the council chairman should be removed.
Six of the councillors, Olakitan Akinsola, Deputy Leader; Kehinde Oluwajana, Majority Leader; Abiodun Aladegbohungbe, Deputy Majority Leader; Mrs. Omolola Alabi, Chief Whip; Omojowo Adodo, member and Adebayo Adefila, ex-leader of the House, denied signing any impeachment letter.
They claimed that their signatures were forged.
The chairman, in a phone chat, said the allegations against him were unfounded.
He said he was suspended for committing no offence.
