The Nasarawa State House of Assembly yesterday put six of 
its legislators on an indefinite suspension for their alleged role in 
the free for all fight on the floor of the House on Monday.
Yesterday, the 6 legislators mainly involved in the disorderliness were 
summoned by DSS to give account of what happened while the other 
legislators voted for them to be suspended indefinitely.
The six legislators who were suspended were all 
APC members namely:  Abubakar Kana, Kokona West; Kassim Kassim, Akwanga 
South; Mohammed Okpoku, - Udega/Loko; Makpa Malla, Wamba; Musa Ali, 
-Keffi East; and Murtala Sodangi, -Nasarawa Central.
The six men  were suspended at the session presided over by the deputy 
speaker, Godiya Akwashiki for “misconduct and for bringing the House to 
disrepute” followed by a motion moved by the Majority Leader, Tanko 
Tunga, who accused them of bringing dishonour to the House. He was 
supported by the Minority Leader, Muhammed Alkali and fourteen others 
legislators present.
