The House also urged the commissioner of police in the state and other security agencies to intervene, to ensure the property were recovered.
In a matter of urgent public importance presented to the House, the Majority Leader, Mr Sanjo Adedoyin said some government property had been declared missing at local councils allegedly taken away by the embattled ALGON chairmen.
Deliberating the motion, the lawmakers held divergent views as some believed the House should not debate on the matter since the chairmen have proceeded to the Supreme Court.
In his ruling, Speaker of the House, Mr Adebo Ogundoyin described the motion as apt and advised the ALGON chairmen to return the government property in their care for use in the council areas.
The Speaker said the actions of the chairmen to further hold on to the property in their possession is illegal.
