Ogun House of Assembly, on Tuesday, ratified the impeachment of Olakunle Oluomo (APC-Ifo1) as the Speaker.
According to reports all the 22 lawmakers present at the plenary presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Bolanle Ajayi voted in support of the impeachment.
Mr Musefiu Lamidi read the report of the committee set up by the assembly on Monday to investigate the allegations leveled against the former speaker.
Lamidi said the committee had assured Oluomo that it was not on a witch-hunting mission and that it would be fair in the handling of its assignment.
