Nollywood star-cum-politician, Desmond Elliot has been named in a committee alongside seven others to look into the plea of former deputy governor of Lagos State, Femi Pedro, to the Lagos State House of Assembly to upturn his impeachment in 2007.

Pedro had written to the House last week and his letter read on the floor by the Clerk, Ganiyu Abiru.

He urged the lawmakers to revisit his impeachment on compassionate grounds. The father-in-law to Bella Naija owner also attached his letter of resignation, which he wrote before his eventual impeachment.
