Aside from his impeachment, Gboyega Aribisigan was also suspended indefinitely, alongside six members loyal to him.
The now opposition PDP kicks.
The two were among 12 members of the House suspended over their alleged involvement in the passage of supplementary budget.
The suspension followed an investigation into the finances of the councils by the legislature.
Journalists, who came to cover the bill’s consideration, were however, not allowed in the chambers.
The bill is a reaction to increased cult activities in the state.
The APC has vowed to defend the lawmaker.
The lawmaker had been suspended for 180 days.
The minister described the lawmakers’ action as ‘legislative rascality.’
The lawmakers had earlier asked the police to arrest the minister.
We are yet to receive summons, the minister's aide said.
The bill was presented to the House by the governor for legislative consideration on December 6.
The lawmaker denies the allegations against him.
