The Edo State House of Assembly has summoned Hon. Natasha Irobosa, the lawmaker representing Egor Constituency, to appear before its Ethics and Privileges Committee within one week.
The Assembly said she must respond to allegations of misconduct linked to a viral video that has sparked widespread controversy.
Hon. Natasha, who recently married Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has been trending on social media after a video surfaced showing her in a heated altercation with her husband in the United Kingdom.
The clip drew heavy reactions online and placed her public conduct under scrutiny.
Speaking during plenary, Speaker Blessing Agbebaku said Natasha’s behaviour was capable of embarrassing the Assembly and undermining its reputation.
He noted that the House needed to protect its integrity and ensure its members upheld ethical standards.
According to him, the committee will investigate the lawmaker’s conduct and determine whether it violates the rules guiding members’ behaviour.
Agbebaku stressed that the Assembly “will not tolerate actions that drag its name into the mud.”
He said, “Hon. Natasha Irobosa has been summoned to appear before the Ethics and Privileges Committee of the Assembly due to her recent conduct, which has been trending online.
This conduct drags the name of the House into the mud. Members must conduct themselves well.”
The Speaker also pointed out that the House is made up of capable and educated individuals whose reputation should not be affected by one member’s actions.
He said the trending video had placed the Assembly in an uncomfortable spotlight and must be addressed promptly.
The committee is expected to submit its findings to the House within two weeks, after which further action may be taken.
Hon. Natasha’s trending video has dominated discussions in the state over the last few days, with many calling for accountability from public office holders, regardless of their social status or connections.
The Assembly’s summon marks the first official step toward addressing the controversy.
