The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Anabraba is  the  APC legislator representing Akuku-Toru Constituency 2 in the assembly.

It alleged that  Anabraba’s  refusal to attend the proceedings on the three occasions he was invited   confirmed his disrespect to constituted authority.

“The party considers your wilful and deliberate refusal to make yourself available to answer to the allegations against you as sufficient confirmation that the said allegations against you are true.

“Therefore, the party  pursuant to relevant provisions of the constitution of the APC (Oct. 2014 as amended), particularly Article 21 (A) ii, iii, hereby expels you from the party,”  the letter said.

Efforts by NAN to reach Anabraba for his reaction failed  as he was not in his office at the assembly  and would not pick  calls put through to his GSM line.
