The Delta State House of Assembly on Tuesday suspended another lawmaker, Oboro Preyor (PDP-Bomadi), for alleged misconduct.

The suspension order followed a motion moved under a matter of urgent public importance by the Majority Leader, Emeka Nwaobi (PDP-Aniocha North).
The motion, which was unanimously adopted in a voice vote, was seconded by Matthew Omonade (APC-Ughelli North I).
