The lawmakers at a plenary presided over by the Speaker, Mr Bamidele Oleyelogun also announced that an ad hoc committee would be set up to look at the veracity of the action of the lawmakers.
The Clerk of the House, Mr Bode Adeyelu also read a letter from the Majority Leader, Mr Jamiu Maito , Akoko North West constituency announcing his resignation which the house accepted but expressed surprise over the decision.
The suspension of the three members raised dust that brought the plenary to an abrupt end.
