Nigeria- Maria Nwachi, a member of the Ebonyi State House of Assembly has been suspended for mobilizing youths to protest epileptic power supply at the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company, EEDC.
The House of Assembly described the action of Hon. Nwachi as unbecoming and contrary to the status of a lawmaker.
The youths of Afikpo had on Monday barricaded the entry and exit points into Afikpo town in protest against the epileptic power supply in the area and had petitioned the state government over the black-out.
The protest, which took place simultaneously in Afikpo, Unwana, Ozizza and Amasiri covered two constituencies of the state. During the protest, public institutions including banks and markets were shut down as three vehicles belonging to EEDC were destroyed while staff of the company were sacked from the offices by the irate youths.
