The Oyo State House of Assembly has indicted a lawmaker of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ibrahim Shittu, following findings of misconduct by the House Committee on Ethics and Privileges.
The indictment was announced during plenary on Tuesday, amid ongoing internal tensions involving the legislator, who represents the Saki West State Constituency and belongs to the minority caucus of the Assembly.
Shittu has been embroiled in a running dispute within the House and was recently accused of defaming the Majority Leader, Hon. Sanjo Adedoyin.
The allegation prompted the Assembly to refer the matter to its Ethics and Privileges Committee for investigation.
Presenting the committee’s report, its chairman, Hon. Gbenga Oyekola, disclosed that both Shittu and Adedoyin appeared before the panel on Thursday, January 22, 2026. He said the committee found that Shittu’s actions violated the principles and standards guiding legislative conduct in the House.
Based on the findings, the committee indicted the lawmaker. During plenary, the Assembly also rejected an apology tendered by Shittu over the matter.
Following deliberations, the House resolved to refer the case back to the Committee on Ethics and Privileges for further action.
