The House of Representatives has taken over the legislative functions of the Kogi State House of Assembly until the political crisis is resolved.
The Federal lawmakers have also declared as null and void, the impeachment of the Speaker, Momoh Lawal by five lawmakers , while describing the action of the five as embarrassing to the institution of legislature.
The Federal lawmakers have also asked the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Solomon Arase to seal the Assembly complex.
This is in addition to the condemnation of the roles played by the Nigeria Police for providing cover for the five lawmakers against 15 to commit the illegality of impeaching the Speaker.
The decision of the House followed the adoption of the report of Pally Iriase-led ad hoc Committee that was mandated to investigate the matter today at Committee of the Whole House chaired by the Deputy Speaker, Yussuff Lasun.
