The suspended members, comprising two from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and one from the All Progressives Congress (APC), were accused of conspiring to change the leadership of the house. Identified as Okogbe Ojeneh Donald (PDP), Akoko-Edo II; Addeh Emankhu Isibor (APC), Esan North-East I; and Iyamu Bright (PDP), Orhionnwon II, they were suspended indefinitely.

The suspension led to tension in the assembly, with the affected lawmakers protesting against their suspension, demanding a vote on the matter. Amidst the chaos, the Speaker abruptly adjourned the session.
