2baba and his wife, Hon. Natasha Irobosa Osawaru
Edo State House of Assembly has issued a one-week ultimatum to Hon. Natasha Irobosa Osawaru, the lawmaker representing Egor Constituency, directing her to appear before its Committee on Ethics and Privileges following her recent spotlight in a viral social-media video.
The summons was announced during Tuesday’s plenary, where Speaker Blessing Agbebaku expressed concern that the controversy surrounding the lawmaker had cast an unwelcome shadow on the House.
According to the Speaker, “Hon. Natasha Irobosa has been summoned to appear before the Ethics and Privileges Committee over her recent conduct trending online.
“This behaviour drags the image of the House into the mud, and members are expected to conduct themselves with dignity.”
Agbebaku did not mince words about the Assembly’s growing frustration, stressing that the legislature—made up of “cerebral and educated individuals”—would no longer tolerate incidents that undermine its public standing.
He instructed the committee to fast-track its inquiry and submit a detailed report within two weeks.
Hon. Osawaru has been at the centre of public attention after a video surfaced showing her in a heated confrontation with her husband, musician Innocent “2Baba” Idibia, sparking debates online and prompting the Assembly’s intervention.
