The motion to consider the Bill at the committee of the House, was moved by the Majority Leader, Roland Asoro, member representing (APC Orhionmwon South) and seconded by the Chief Whip, Iyoha Osaigbovo (APC-Oredo East).

The passage of the 11-section Bill was sequel to the suspension of House rules 20,27,42,43,44,45,46,47,48 and 49.

The Bill prescribes 21-year jail term for secret cult members and 7-year imprisonment for anyone who harbours a cultist.

The Bill also prescribes that all offences under the law shall be by summary trial and empowers the police to arrest suspected cultists without a warrant.

Meanwhile, the Speaker of the House, Kabiru Adjoto, has constituted a 5-man Ad-hoc Committee to investigate the circumstances surrounding the abandonment of the Tayo Akpata University of Education from taking off as approved by the state government, few years ago.

The constitution of the committee followed a petition by 11 host communities of the institution to the House protesting the abandonment of the University.

It won't work because...

Every kingdom divided against itself comes to ruin, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand

Fire cannot question smoke. One begets the other. If you know you get sense!

A very good move

The future of youths of that state is seriously danger with what I saw when I encountered then
All majority behave like touts
Fathers above 40 behaving as though under 20 then u wonder what their kids would be like.

Not hating
Being sincere


I hail the Edo house
