The suspension was announced by Speaker Olemgbe during a plenary session on Tuesday. He stated that the decision was made during an executive session.
In addition to their suspension, the affected lawmakers have been banned from participating in the activities of the standing committees to which they belong. Speaker Olemgbe also announced a reshuffling of the standing committees.
