An Imo state high court in Imo State on Monday declared as null and void the suspension of five members of the state House of Assembly.
The presiding judge, Justice Goddy Anunihu said the processes that led to the indefinite suspension of the five lawmakers was like “putting the horse before the cart.”
He similarly awarded N8m as cost against the three defendants.
The defendants in the suit instituted by were: the Imo State House of Assembly, the Speaker, Acho Ihim and the governor of the state, Rochas Okorocha.
The affected lawmakers are: Chiiji Collins, Israel Nnataraoye, Nkenna Nzerue, Uche Oguwuike and Donatus Onuigwe.
The lawmakers were, in July, suspended by their colleagues in what the Speaker described as “un-parliamentary conduct.”
The high court had since reinstated Madumere.
