The Imo State COVID-19 Containment Task Force led by Professor Maurice Iwu, had earlier directed the members to proceed on isolation, following a member, who tested positive for coronavirus and to enable other members to undergo testing.
Subsequently, 13 members tested positive for the virus, even as the House remained in recess since it was closed for decontamination.
The Guardian learnt that the lawmakers are aggrieved over the way Collins was handling the affairs of the assembly, alleging that he was domineering and had failed to act on the payment of their salaries and allowances, urging him to resign or face impeachment.
One of the lawmakers urged the speaker to either reconvene the House or they would invoke House rules and reconvene, adding that if such an option was applied, Collins would find things difficult.
However, Collins refuted all allegations against him, claiming that the four PDP members were enlisting the support of other members and an influential former governor of the state to impeach him and Governor Hope Uzodinma.
