Illegal sitting: Benue Assembly suspends seven members for six months

The Benue State House of Assembly has suspended for six months the seven members who held an illegal sitting under the leadership of the impeached and suspended Speaker with the help of the police.
The House also called on the international community to beam its searchlight on the impunity (use of force by the police to prevent members from sitting) going on in Benue State.
The suspended members are:
Terkimbi Ikyange (Impeached Speaker), Adanyi Benjamin, Terhemba Chabo, Benjamin Nungwa,
Bem Mngutyo, Adams Okloho, James Okefe and Nick Eworo.
The House took the decision in the presence of 18 members with four notices of absence
It will be recalled that a court in Makurdi presided over by Justice Adam Onum a few days ago gave a restraining order to the impeached speaker to stop parading himself as the Speaker of the Assembly.
