Date: 5 December 2019
Summary: Eight members of Nigeria's House of Representatives have been suspended for allegedly violating the privileges of the House. The lawmakers were accused of attempting to impeach the Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila, and the Deputy Speaker, Ahmed Wase.
The suspended lawmakers are:
- Gideon Gwani (PDP, Kaduna State)
- Umar Barde (PDP, Kaduna State)

The suspension was announced by the House of Representatives' Committee on Ethics and Privileges, which investigated the allegations against the lawmakers. The committee found that the lawmakers had engaged in "unparliamentary behavior" and had attempted to "subvert the authority of the House".
The suspended lawmakers have denied the allegations and have vowed to challenge their suspension in court.
