Ihim said the matter was resolved after an interface at an executive session, saying that the members have been fully readmitted.

The News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reports that the Speaker had on April 11 invited the suspended members to an interface at the executive session of April 16 to discuss their possible readmission.

He issued the invitation following a motion by Mr. Chika Madumere (AGAP-Nkwerre) at plenary.

A state High Court had on Nov. 5, 2018 quashed the suspension of four of the five members, describing it as unconstitutional.

The court also jointly awarded the applicants, Dr Uche Oguwuike (Ikeduru-APC), Mr. Chiji Collins (Isiala Mbano- APGA), Mr. Israel Nnataraonye (Mbaitoli-APC) and Mr. Nkenna Nzeruo (Oru East-APC) N8 million in damages and 100,000 in legal fees.

The judge, Justice Goddy Anunihu in his ruling also directed the Speaker and the house who were the first and second respondents to pay the applicants their salaries, allowances and emoluments for the period they were suspended.

However, the judgment was ignored by the house leadership which appealed against it.
