A fresh crisis has engulfed the Rivers State House of Assembly amidst rumors of an impending impeachment procedure against the state Governor Sim Fubara as the House on Monday removed its leader, Edison Ehie.
This is as the governor stormed the Assembly Complex while House members flee for safety as tear gas is fired outside the Complex.
A protest is also ongoing outside the Complex as of the time of filing this report.
The development comes hours after a fire broke out at the Assembly Complex at 10pm on Sunday.
Meanwhile,Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, on Monday, accused the police of shooting at him on his way to inspect the State House of Assembly Complex that was gutted by fire last night.
Fubara named a senior officer in the Rivers State Police Command as the leader of the team that was deployed to obstruct his access to the complex.
The governor stated this while addressing a crowd of supporters at the Government House gate.
He also dismissed the action of the state assembly to serve an impeachment notice on him.
He challenged the lawmakers and others to clearly state his offence.
The governor said he does not care about being impeached but vowed to resist an unjust process.
