The Benue State House of Assembly has recalled the remaining seven lawmakers who were suspended in February, thereby ending the months-long disciplinary episode. 


The recalled lawmakers, including Douglas Akya, Becky Orpin, Manger Manger, Ezrah Nyiyongu, Jonathan Agbidye, and Samuel Agada, were said to have shown remorse and pledged to conduct themselves honorably moving forward. 


During plenary, the motion for recall received broad support from members, with leaders like Bemdoo Ipusu and Elias Audu calling for forgiveness, while the lawmakers commended the Speaker of the Assembly, Hyacinth Aondona Dajoh, and the leadership of the House for handling the situation magnanimously.
