The Cross River State House of Assembly has suspended the member representing Obubra I State Constituency, Dickson Agbor, over alleged domestic assault.
The decision followed a motion moved by Davies Etta and seconded by Francis Bassey Asuquo during plenary on Thursday.
Etta, condemned the alleged violent conduct involving Agbor, describing it as behaviour unbecoming of a lawmaker and contrary to the ethical standards expected from members of the legislative arm of government.
The Assembly also approved the constitution of an ad hoc committee to investigate the matter and report its findings to the House for further legislative action.
